Summary:
Regional School Unit 75/Maine School Admin District 75 contains a single high school, Mt Ararat High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly white student population, with some diversity, and is located in a relatively affluent area of Maine.
While Mt Ararat High School's four-year graduation rate of 90.9% is commendable, its academic performance is a concern. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the district and state averages, with particularly low scores in Mathematics and Science. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.9%, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.
Over the past three school years, Regional School Unit 75/Maine School Admin District 75 has seen a decline in Mt Ararat High School's statewide ranking, from 49th out of 82 Maine high schools in 2020-2021 to 69th out of 123 in 2022-2023. This downward trend suggests the need for the school and district to closely examine the factors contributing to this decline and implement targeted strategies to improve academic performance and student engagement.
