High Schools in Regional School Unit 45/Maine School Admin District 45


Summary:

The Regional School Unit 45/Maine School Admin District 45 region has only one high school, Washburn District High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 91 students. While the school has seen improvements in its School Digger ranking, from 1 star to 3 stars, it faces some notable challenges.

Washburn District High School has a predominantly white student population, with 94.51% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.9%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school performs better than the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with a rate of 68.18%, but lags behind in mathematics proficiency at 35%, lower than the district and state averages.

Additionally, Washburn District High School has a high percentage of students (51.65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, which could be beneficial for providing more individualized attention to students. Overall, while the school has made positive strides, addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and the disparity in academic performance, particularly in mathematics, could be crucial for the school's continued growth and success.
