Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04937

Summary:

The 04937 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school - all part of the Regional School Unit 49/Maine School Admin District 49. Unfortunately, the academic performance of these schools appears to be below state averages across key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.

None of the schools in the 04937 area stand out as high-performers. Lawrence High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 87.8%, which is below the state average, and all three schools have significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates (23.4%) compared to the state. Test scores at the schools are also lagging behind state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

The data suggests the schools in this area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, especially at Fairfield Primary School (70.27%). This could be a contributing factor to the overall low academic performance seen across the district. Addressing these systemic issues should be a priority for the Regional School Unit 49/Maine School Admin District 49.
