Summary:
The 04950 zip code is home to a single high school, Madison Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Regional School Unit 59/Maine School Admin District 59. The school's performance, as measured by academic proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and statewide rankings, suggests that it faces challenges in providing quality education to its students.
Madison Junior/Senior High School has consistently lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the regional and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 54.81% in ELA, 39.05% in Math, and 36.54% in Science, while the state averages were 63.84%, 49.38%, and 36.18%, respectively. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is also relatively high, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.
Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students (56.9%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower socioeconomic status. This factor may present additional challenges in providing resources and support to the students. The school's statewide ranking, with a 1-star rating, suggests that it is performing below average compared to other high schools in Maine, which could be a concern for the school and the community.
