Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04691

Summary:

The 04691 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Whiting Village School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 28 students. The school is part of the Whiting Public Schools district, which is ranked 109 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Whiting Village School has seen a significant decline in its performance over the years, dropping from a ranking of 13 out of 284 Maine elementary schools and a 5-star rating in the 2014-2015 school year to a ranking of 165 out of 290 and a 2-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year. This decline is concerning and warrants further investigation into the factors contributing to it, such as changes in student demographics, curriculum, teaching quality, or resource allocation. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which is higher than the state average and may be impacting the school's academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Whiting Village School serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with a free and reduced lunch rate of 39.29%. This suggests that the school and district may need to prioritize addressing the unique needs of these students, such as providing additional support services and resources. Furthermore, the small size of the school, with only 28 students enrolled, may present both advantages and challenges in terms of resource allocation, extracurricular offerings, and the ability to provide a diverse range of educational experiences.
