Summary:
The Regional School Unit 80/Maine School Admin District 04 contains a single high school, Piscataquis Community Secondary School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance, particularly in mathematics, is below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates of 37.04% compared to 46.15% and 48.68%, respectively. Additionally, the school's ranking and rating have declined over the past few years, going from 27th out of 82 schools and a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 to 80th out of 123 schools and a 2-star rating in 2022-2023.
Piscataquis Community Secondary School has a student population that is overwhelmingly White, with very low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 44.68%, which may indicate socioeconomic challenges that could impact student performance. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.5% is also an area of concern that may require targeted interventions to improve student attendance.
Overall, the data suggests that Piscataquis Community Secondary School faces several challenges, including academic performance, declining school rankings, and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student outcomes. The school and district may need to focus on addressing these areas to improve the educational experience and outcomes for students in the region.
