Summary:
The 04989 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Vassalboro Community School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 404 students. The school is part of the Vassalboro Public Schools district, which is ranked 89 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Vassalboro Community School's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but its Science proficiency rates lag behind the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is relatively high, indicating a potential area for improvement. Additionally, the school's free/reduced lunch rate of 34.16% suggests a moderate level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1 indicates a potentially favorable learning environment with more individualized attention for students.
While Vassalboro Community School may not be considered a "standout" school, it has shown some areas of strength, such as its academic performance in certain subjects. However, the school's declining SchoolDigger rankings over the past three years suggest a need for further investigation into the factors driving this trend and potential areas for improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
