Best Public Schools in Washburn, ME

Summary:

The Washburn school district in Maine consists of two schools: Washburn District Elementary School and Washburn District High School. While the high school has seen some improvement in its state-wide ranking, the overall performance of the district appears to be below average, with the elementary school experiencing a significant decline in its ranking. Both schools face challenges related to chronic absenteeism and serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

The elementary school has a student population that is predominantly white (92.15%), with smaller percentages of African American (3.14%), Asian (2.62%), and Native American (2.09%) students. The high school has a similar racial makeup, with 94.51% of students being white, 1.1% African American, 3.3% Hispanic, and 1.1% Asian. This suggests that there may be some disparity in the representation of certain racial groups within the district, an area that may warrant further investigation.

Overall, the Regional School Unit 45/Maine School Admin District 45 in Washburn, Maine, faces significant challenges in maintaining academic performance and addressing the needs of its student population. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on equity and inclusion to ensure that all students have access to the educational opportunities they need to succeed.
