Summary:

The 04777 zip code area is home to two schools - Katahdin Middle/High School and Katahdin Elementary School, both of which are part of the Regional School Unit 89 district. While Katahdin Middle/High School is the only high school in the area, both schools have faced challenges in recent years, with declining performance rankings and lower-than-average proficiency rates in core subjects.

Katahdin Middle/High School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 61st out of 123 Maine high schools in 2022-2023 to 92nd out of 119 in 2024-2025. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.8% is slightly below the state average, and its proficiency rates in math (25.68%) and science (19.23%) are significantly lower than the state averages.

The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (42.59%) and math (27.27%) are also well below the state averages.

Both schools serve a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by their high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients. Katahdin Elementary School has a particularly high rate at 64.75%, while Katahdin Middle/High School has a rate of 41.73%. These factors likely contribute to the challenges these schools face in providing a high-quality education to their students, and suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues.
