Top rankedSebasticook Valley Elementary School196^th of 289 Maine elementary schools

Summary:

The 04953 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Sebasticook Valley Elementary School, which serves students in the Regional School Unit 19 district. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it generally performs better than the district average but lags behind the state average in some key academic areas.

Sebasticook Valley Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 109th out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 196th out of 289 in 2024-2025, indicating inconsistent performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been mixed, with some years exceeding the district average but falling short of the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

One area of concern for Sebasticook Valley Elementary School is its chronic absenteeism rate, which stood at 23.4% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the typical range for elementary schools. This high rate of chronic absenteeism could be a factor in the school's academic performance and may require targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement.
