Summary:
The 04841 zip code area is home to two schools - Oceanside High School and South School, both of which are part of the Regional School Unit 13. While Oceanside High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and declining statewide rankings over the past three years.
Oceanside High School is ranked 66th out of 119 Maine high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has a 4-year graduation rate of 87.8%, which is relatively high, but its proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science are generally lower than the regional and state averages. In contrast, South School is ranked 176th out of 289 Maine elementary schools, also with a 2-star rating, and has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 59.14%, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population.
Both schools have faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.4%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. The significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools suggests that South School serves a more economically disadvantaged student population, which could be a contributing factor to their lower statewide ranking. Overall, the data highlights the need for both schools to address areas of concern, such as improving academic performance and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, in order to better serve the students in the 04841 zip code area.
