Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04619

Summary:

The 04619 zip code area is home to two schools - Calais Middle/High School and Calais Elementary School, both part of the Calais Public Schools district. While the middle/high school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine high schools, the elementary school has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking, dropping from a 4-star to a 2-star rating in recent years.

Both schools face challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates well above the state average. Academically, Calais Middle/High School struggles with Math and Science proficiency, while Calais Elementary School performs better in English Language Arts but lags behind in Math. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have a significant proportion of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high number of economically disadvantaged students in the area.

Despite these challenges, the schools in the 04619 zip code area have some bright spots. Calais Middle/High School's English Language Arts proficiency is above the state average, and the student-teacher ratios at both schools are relatively low. However, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these schools and ensure all students have access to a quality education.
