Summary:

The 04988 zip code is home to a single high school, the Ecology Learning Center, a public charter school serving grades 9-12. While the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with fluctuations in its state ranking and test scores, it appears to be a unique educational option within this geographic area.

The Ecology Learning Center has an enrollment of 105 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.9. Its district is ranked 70 out of 176 in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has ranged from 13th out of 121 Maine high schools in 2023-2024 (5-star rating) to 63rd out of 123 in 2022-2023 (3-star rating), indicating some variability in its academic outcomes. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science have exceeded the state averages in recent years, its Mathematics proficiency has lagged behind.

One area of concern is the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024, which can be a significant factor in student achievement. Additionally, the school serves a population with higher economic needs, with 32.38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the Ecology Learning Center's small size may provide opportunities for a more personalized learning environment. Overall, the school's performance and the factors influencing its outcomes warrant further analysis to better understand its role in the educational landscape of the 04988 zip code.
