Summary:

The 04742 zip code is home to a single high school, Fort Fairfield Middle/High School, which serves students in grades 6-12. This school has maintained a strong performance, ranking 45th out of 119 Maine high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years.

Fort Fairfield Middle/High School excels in English Language Arts proficiency, performing above the state average, but falls slightly below the state average in Mathematics and Science proficiency. The school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5, indicating smaller class sizes, which may contribute to its overall strong performance. However, the school faces challenges with a higher-than-average free/reduced lunch rate of 39.55% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is above the state's target of 15% or less.

Despite these areas for improvement, Regional School Unit 86/Maine School Admin District 20, the district that oversees Fort Fairfield Middle/High School, has demonstrated a consistent commitment to providing a quality education for its students. The school's ranking and 4-star rating suggest that it is a strong option for families in the 04742 zip code, though the district may need to focus on addressing the school's lower Mathematics and Science proficiency rates, as well as its chronic absenteeism challenges.
