High Schools in Regional School Unit 88/Maine School Admin District 24


Summary:

The Regional School Unit 88/Maine School Admin District 24 contains a single high school, Van Buren District Secondary School, which serves a small student population of just 56 students. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating fluctuating over the past few years.

Academically, Van Buren District Secondary School faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in MEA/English Language Arts and MEA/Science lower than the regional and statewide averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40%, which may be contributing to its academic performance. Additionally, all students at the school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Van Buren District Secondary School benefits from a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.8 to 1, which may provide more personalized attention for students. However, the school's small size could also present both advantages and challenges in terms of resources and opportunities. Overall, the analysis suggests that addressing the high chronic absenteeism, academic proficiency gaps, and economic disadvantages of the student population could be crucial in improving the school's outcomes.
