Summary:
The 04786 zip code is home to a single high school, Washburn District High School, which serves a small student population of 83 students. While the school's graduation rate of 87.8% exceeds the state average, it faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%.
Academically, Washburn District High School demonstrates relative strengths in English Language Arts (ELA), with proficiency rates consistently above the district and state averages. However, its math proficiency lags behind, suggesting an area for improvement. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 may provide a more personalized learning environment, but the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (37.35%) indicates the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges, which can impact academic performance.
Overall, Washburn District High School's performance has been variable, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 44th and 70th out of over 100 schools in recent years. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school address its challenges and build on its strengths to better serve the students in the Regional School Unit 45/Maine School Admin District 45 community.
