Summary:
The 04930 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Ridge View Community School, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 562 students.
Ridge View Community School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools over the past three years, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) are significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 53.5% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 63.84%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and a large percentage (66.37%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1, which is better than the state average, Ridge View Community School's academic performance and other key metrics suggest that it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's underperformance and identify strategies to improve student achievement and overall school quality within Maine School Admin District 46.
