Summary:

The 04942 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Harmony Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 63 students. Harmony Elementary is part of the Harmony Public Schools district, which is ranked 73 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harmony Elementary has shown mixed academic performance in recent years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 68.57%, which was higher than the state average of 63.84%, but its Mathematics proficiency rate was 54.29%, lower than the state average of 49.38%. The previous year, Harmony Elementary's ELA proficiency rate was 67.74%, slightly higher than the state average of 65.43%, while its Mathematics proficiency rate was 38.71%, lower than the state average of 47.21%. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and a high percentage of students (61.9%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Harmony Elementary's small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.8, may be a strength, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's small size may also present challenges in terms of resource allocation, extracurricular offerings, and the ability to provide a diverse range of educational opportunities. Overall, the school and district should closely monitor and address the areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and academic performance in Mathematics, to ensure the best possible educational outcomes for the students.
