Summary:

The 04976 zip code area is home to 5 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools include Bloomfield Elementary School, Margaret Chase Smith School - Skowhegan, Dimensions Academy, North Elementary School, and Creative Childrens Academy. These schools are part of the Regional School Unit 54/Maine School Admin District 54 and the Community Regional Charter School districts.

Among the 5 schools, Margaret Chase Smith School - Skowhegan stands out with the highest test scores, with 52.02% proficiency in ELA and 41.28% in Math for the 2024-2025 school year. However, its science proficiency rates are relatively low at 12.77% in 2024-2025 and 10.26% in 2023-2024. In contrast, Dimensions Academy, a public charter school, has the lowest state-wide ranking among the 5 schools, ranking 286 out of 289 Maine elementary schools in 2024-2025, and the lowest test scores, with only 37.5% proficiency in ELA and 18.56% in Math for the 2024-2025 school year.

The data also reveals that all 5 schools have the same chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a broader issue within the region or district. Additionally, Bloomfield Elementary School and North Elementary School have the highest free/reduced lunch rates at 72.63% and 74.62%, respectively, which may contribute to their lower academic performance compared to the other schools in the area.
