Summary:
The 04643 zip code is home to a single high school, Narraguagus High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate, it consistently underperforms compared to state and regional averages on key metrics like academic proficiency and chronic absenteeism.
Narraguagus High School had a 87.8% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, slightly below the statewide average. However, the school struggled with a 23.4% chronic absenteeism rate, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Narraguagus High School's proficiency rates on the Maine Educational Assessments (MEA) were below the regional Regional School Unit 37/Maine School Admin District 37 and statewide averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years.
Despite these challenges, the school's 13.4 student-teacher ratio suggests class sizes are manageable, and the 39.5% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a relatively high level of economic disadvantage compared to the state. With targeted interventions and support, Narraguagus High School may be able to improve its academic performance and overall ranking, which has consistently placed it in the bottom quarter of Maine high schools over the past three school years.
