Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04669

Summary:

The 04669 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Peninsula School, which serves grades PK-5 with 76 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 24 district, which is ranked 99 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Peninsula School faces some challenges, particularly in terms of academic performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ELA (54.05%) and Math (51.35%) were lower than the Regional School Unit 24 district and the state of Maine. This trend continued from the previous year, where the school's proficiency rates in ELA (58.97%) and Math (51.28%) were also below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these academic challenges, Peninsula School serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 46.05% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 6.9, may also present both advantages and disadvantages for the students. Overall, the data suggests that the school and district leaders should closely examine the factors contributing to the declining test scores and high chronic absenteeism to identify ways to support student success.
