Summary:
The 04777 zip code is home to a single public high school, Katahdin Middle/High School, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 139 students. While the school has faced some challenges in recent years, including declining academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, it also serves a community with socioeconomic challenges, with over 40% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Katahdin Middle/High School's four-year graduation rate stands at 87.8%, which is a positive indicator. However, the school's proficiency rates in math and science are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 25.68% and 19.23% of students meeting proficiency standards, respectively. The school's ELA proficiency rate of 63.01% is closer to the state average of 63.84%, but still slightly below. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its math and science instruction to better support student learning.
With a small student population and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, Katahdin Middle/High School faces unique challenges that may be impacting its overall performance. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 61st out of 123 schools in 2022-2023 to 92nd out of 119 schools in 2024-2025, and its drop in SchoolDigger star rating from 3 stars to 1 star, indicate that the school community may need additional support and resources to help improve student outcomes and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
