Summary:
The 04669 zip code is home to a single elementary school, the Peninsula School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Regional School Unit 24 district. While the school has a relatively small student population of 76, its performance has been mixed, with fluctuating rankings and test scores that generally fall below regional and state averages.
The Peninsula School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are lower than the district and state, with 54.05% and 51.35% proficiency respectively in 2024-2025, compared to 62.31% and 42.2% for the district, and 63.84% and 49.38% for the state. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is a concern. However, the school's small size and favorable student-teacher ratio of 6.9 could be a strength, potentially allowing for more personalized instruction and support for students.
The high percentage of students (46.05%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the Peninsula School suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic outcomes. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to support the academic success and well-being of the students at the Peninsula School.
