Summary:
The 04743 zip code is home to a single high school, Fort Kent Community High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 44th out of 123 Maine high schools in 2022-2023 to 80th out of 119 in 2024-2025, its performance metrics provide some interesting insights.
Fort Kent Community High School had an 87.8% four-year graduation rate in the 2023-2024 school year, which is slightly below the state average. However, the school's test scores, particularly in mathematics and science, are significantly below the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, the school scored 48.39% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the district average of 57.02% and the state average of 49.38%. In science, the school scored just 22.54% proficient or better, well below the district (38.1%) and state (36.18%) averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is also higher than the state average.
On a positive note, the school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 29.08% and student-teacher ratio of 13.5 suggest it may serve a more affluent student population compared to the state average. Addressing areas like test scores, attendance, and resource allocation could be important steps in improving the school's outcomes and helping it regain its position among the top high schools in Maine School Admin District 27.
