Understanding the 5/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates School Administrative District 06 5 out of 10 — average among Maine public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2021–22 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Maine is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
School Administrative District 06 falls near the middle of Maine on state assessment results, with reading and math proficiency close to the state median. Average-rated districts provide foundational public education, and many families find they deliver solid day-to-day learning — particularly when parents stay engaged.

Average districts often have individual schools that significantly outperform the district mean.
