Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04740

Summary:

The 04740 zip code area is home to two standout schools - Easton Elementary School and Easton Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Easton Public Schools district. These schools have consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, ranking among the top schools in Maine and exceeding state and district averages in various test score categories.

Easton Junior-Senior High School stands out with its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking of 23rd out of 119 Maine high schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school boasts an impressive 87.8% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024 and outperformed the state and district averages in Science proficiency. Meanwhile, Easton Elementary School is ranked 40th out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023, also with a 4-star rating, and maintained strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Both schools have relatively small enrollments, with Easton Elementary School having 116 students and Easton Junior-Senior High School having 107 students. This small size may contribute to their ability to provide personalized attention and targeted instruction. However, the schools also face challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at the elementary school level, suggesting the need for further investigation and potential interventions to address these areas.
