Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04864

Summary:

The 04864 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Warren Community School, which serves grades PK-6 with 304 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 40/Maine School Admin District 40, which is ranked 82 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Warren Community School has some strengths, such as relatively small class sizes and higher-than-average English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, the school is facing significant challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is quite high, and its science proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages, indicating a need for improvement in this subject area. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with nearly 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Perhaps most concerning is the school's declining performance over the past few years, dropping from 186 out of 289 elementary schools in the state in 2024-2025 to 254 out of 290 in 2022-2023. This suggests a worrying trend that will require attention and intervention to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
