Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04950

Summary:

The 04950 zip code in Maine is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Main Street Middle School and Madison Elementary School) and 1 high school (Madison Junior/Senior High School). These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients ranging from 56.9% to 71.85%.

Main Street Middle School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (61.31%) and Mathematics (44.05%) compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. This school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which may contribute to its better academic performance. In contrast, Madison Junior/Senior High School lags behind in English Language Arts (55.34%), Mathematics (28.16%), and Science (23.86%) proficiency rates, performing below the district and state averages.

A concerning trend across all three schools is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This issue may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed, particularly at the high school level. The data also suggests a potential relationship between student-teacher ratios and academic outcomes, with the schools with lower ratios, such as Madison Elementary School and Main Street Middle School, demonstrating better academic results.
