Summary:

The 04901 zip code area is home to two middle schools: Waterville Junior High School and Winslow Junior High School. Based on the available data, Winslow Junior High School appears to be the standout performer, consistently ranking higher statewide and outperforming Waterville Junior High School and the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.

Winslow Junior High School has a 27th out of 91 statewide ranking for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to Waterville Junior High School's 55th ranking. Winslow also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (41.85%) than Waterville (55.86%), indicating a potentially more advantaged student population. Both schools, however, struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.4%, which is an area of concern.

While Waterville Junior High School's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, the school's performance in English Language Arts in 2023-2024 was on par with the state. The data highlights the importance of considering multiple metrics, such as test scores, rankings, and student demographics, when evaluating school performance and identifying areas for improvement. Exploring the factors that contribute to Winslow Junior High School's stronger academic performance could provide valuable insights for enhancing educational outcomes across the 04901 zip code area.
