Summary:

The 04986 zip code is home to a single high school, Mt View High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively small enrollment of 291 students, it faces some challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement.

Mt View High School's four-year graduation rate is 87.8%, which is slightly lower than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with 23.4% of students missing a significant amount of school. Academically, Mt View High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all lower than the state averages, though its English Language Arts proficiency is higher than the regional average. The school's statewide ranking has also declined from 66th out of 121 high schools in 2023-2024 to 77th out of 119 high schools in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend.

One potential factor contributing to the school's challenges is the high percentage of students (53.95%) who receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the school community faces significant socioeconomic challenges. To address these issues, the school and the Regional School Unit 03/Maine School Admin District 03 may need to explore targeted interventions, additional resources, and strategies to support student engagement and academic achievement.
