Summary:
The 04957 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Mill Stream Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 323 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 54/Maine School Administrative District 54, which is ranked 106 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Mill Stream Elementary School performs better than the district and state averages in mathematics, with a proficiency rate of 50.68% compared to 45.86% and 47.21% respectively, it lags behind in English Language Arts and Science. The school's proficiency rates of 60% in ELA and 26% in Science are lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is higher than the state average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism may be impacting student learning and achievement.
The school's high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, at 64.09%, suggests that it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance in certain subject areas. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 indicates that it may have adequate staffing resources, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. Overall, the analysis suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address its areas of underperformance and improve student outcomes.
