Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04463

Summary:

The schools in zip code 04463 include one elementary school, Milo Elementary School, and one middle/high school, Penquis Valley Middle/High School. This area appears to face significant challenges, with the middle/high school consistently ranking among the lowest in the state and struggling with high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance.

Regional School Unit 41/Maine School Admin District 41 operates these schools, which serve a student population that is predominantly white and from low-income families, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While Milo Elementary School does not have available academic performance data, the middle/high school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are well below the state averages, suggesting that students in this area may not be receiving the support they need to succeed academically.

The data also reveals concerning trends, such as Penquis Valley Middle/High School's consistently low statewide rankings and 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, as well as its high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.3%. These factors likely contribute to the school's low graduation rate of 79.2%, which is below the state average.
