Summary:
The 04920 zip code area is home to two schools - Upper Kennebec Valley Middle/Senior High School and Moscow Elementary. Both schools serve high-need student populations, with over 59% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, they have struggled academically, with both schools ranking in the bottom quarter of Maine schools in their respective categories.
Upper Kennebec Valley Middle/Senior High School is the only high school in the data set, serving grades 5-12. Despite maintaining a reasonably high 4-year graduation rate of 87.8%, the school has faced challenges, including low statewide rankings, poor test scores, and a high rate of chronic absenteeism at 23.4%. In contrast, Moscow Elementary has shown some stronger academic performance, with test scores closer to or above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math, though it also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Both schools are part of the Regional School Unit 83/Maine School Admin District 13, which is ranked 138 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that district-level factors may be contributing to the challenges faced by these individual schools, and addressing these issues at the district level could potentially benefit the schools in the 04920 zip code area.
