Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04974


Summary:

The 04974 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Regional School Unit 20 district. While the schools have relatively low rankings, they serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high free and reduced lunch rates. Addressing attendance issues and improving academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, could be key priorities for the district.

The schools in this area have a predominantly White student population, with limited racial diversity. Searsport Elementary has the most homogeneous student body, with 99.53% of students identifying as White, while Searsport District High School has a more diverse population, with 92.48% White, 4.51% Hispanic, 0.75% Asian, and 0.75% Native American. The district may want to explore ways to ensure equitable access and representation for all students.

Despite the challenges, the schools in the 04974 zip code area have some strengths, such as low student-teacher ratios, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention to students. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.2% to 57.8%, suggest that addressing attendance issues should be a priority for the district to improve overall educational outcomes for students in this community.
