High Schools in Regional School Unit 89

Regional School Unit 89 in Maine is home to a single high school, Katahdin Middle/High School, which serves students in grades 6-12. The school has seen fluctuations in its performance over the past few years, ranking as high as 19th out of 98 Maine high schools in 2021-2022 but dropping to 61st out of 123 schools in the current 2022-2023 school year.

Katahdin Middle/High School boasts a strong 100% four-year graduation rate, but it also faces challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.3%, which is above the state average. Academically, the school performs slightly above the state average in English Language Arts but falls short in mathematics and science proficiency. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population (41.83%) receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need among the school's families.

Despite these areas for improvement, Katahdin Middle/High School benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1, which could allow for more individualized attention and support for students. As the only high school in Regional School Unit 89, the school's performance and the district's efforts to support it will be crucial in ensuring that students in this area receive a high-quality education and have the resources they need to succeed.
