Summary:

The 04856 zip code area is home to one exceptional elementary school, Camden-Rockport Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. This standout institution consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Maine, outperforming the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

Camden-Rockport Elementary School is a high-performing school, receiving 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger and ranking 26th out of 288 Maine elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year and 41st out of 289 in the 2024-2025 school year. In the 2024-2025 academic year, 71.22% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 63.84%, and an impressive 84.17% were proficient or better in Mathematics, far exceeding the state average of 49.38%.

The school's strong academic performance is complemented by a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, which may contribute to its success. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is an area that the Regional School Unit 28/Maine School Admin District 28 may want to investigate and address. Overall, Camden-Rockport Elementary School stands out as a shining example of academic excellence, providing a high-quality education to the students in the 04856 zip code area.
