Summary:

The 04924 zip code in Maine is home to a single standout elementary school, Canaan Elementary School, which has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Maine elementary schools over the past 3 years. This school serves students in grades K-6 and is part of the Regional School Unit 54/Maine School Admin District 54.

Canaan Elementary School's academic performance is exceptional, with 70.77% of students proficient or better in ELA and 69.23% proficient or better in Math for the 2024-2025 school year. These scores exceed the district and state averages, and the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 is likely a contributing factor to its success. Despite serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 67.48% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Canaan Elementary continues to excel academically.

While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, it is not excessively so. The school's lower science proficiency scores compared to ELA and Math suggest an area for improvement, but overall, Canaan Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution that is effectively serving its students and providing a quality education in the 04924 zip code.
