Summary:

The 04926 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, China Primary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. This school has demonstrated significant academic progress, outperforming regional and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

China Primary School has seen a remarkable improvement in its state-wide ranking, moving from 142nd out of 288 Maine elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 74th out of 289 in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating. This impressive achievement suggests the school has implemented effective strategies to enhance student outcomes. Additionally, the school's academic performance in the 2024-2025 school year was notably strong, with 69% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 66% proficient or better in Mathematics, outpacing both regional and state averages.

While China Primary School has demonstrated academic excellence, it also faces some challenges. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024 was higher than the state average, which may require attention from the school and the Regional School Unit 18 district. Additionally, 30.47% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 in 2023-2024 suggests a favorable learning environment for students.
