Summary:
ZIP code 03741 has three public schools serving a complete pre-K–12 pathway in the Mascoma Valley Regional School District: Canaan Elementary School for PK–4, Indian River School for grades 5–8, and Mascoma Valley Regional High School for grades 9–12.
For families comparing the schools, Canaan Elementary is the strongest performer in mathematics, with 54% of students proficient compared with 44% statewide, and it has the highest current ranking percentile in the ZIP code at the 50th percentile. Its reading result is more moderate at 50%, below the state’s 55%. Indian River has the lowest overall ranking, at the 35th percentile, but it performs relatively well in science, with 43% proficiency compared with 38% statewide. Its mathematics and science results improved substantially from the prior year. However, sixth grade is a notable concern: proficiency falls to 28% in mathematics and 34% in reading, well below fifth-grade results.
Mascoma Valley Regional High School stands out for student completion rather than overall academic proficiency. Its 93.2% graduation rate exceeds the 87% state rate, and its reported dropout rate is 0%. Science is also slightly above the state average, but mathematics is the district’s clearest challenge at the high school, with 25% proficiency compared with 44% statewide. Reading is 50%, also below the state, and declined from 65% the previous year. Across the district, mathematics proficiency decreases from 54% in elementary school to 39% in middle school and 25% in high school, while all three schools trail the state in reading. Favorable student-teacher ratios of about 10:1 to 11:1 may provide useful capacity for targeted support and small-group instruction.
