Summary:
The 04958 zip code area is home to two schools - Carrabec Community School, an elementary/middle school, and Carrabec High School. While Carrabec High School is a relatively strong performer, ranking 52nd out of 121 Maine high schools, Carrabec Community School has struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools.
Carrabec High School has a higher 4-year graduation rate at 87.8% compared to the overall district rate of 64.48% for English Language Arts and 44.83% for Mathematics. However, both schools perform below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Notably, Carrabec High School's Math and Science scores are significantly lower than the district averages.
Both schools face challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.4% and high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges for their student populations. While the relatively small class sizes, as evidenced by the low student-teacher ratios, suggest that factors other than just staffing levels may be contributing to the academic performance issues, addressing attendance and providing additional support for economically disadvantaged students could be key focus areas for improvement in this school district.
