Hebron’s public schools score below 87% of Maine districts on tests and graduation

The grade covers the public school district serving Hebron, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. On the state reading tests, 73% of Hebron’s students scored proficient, below the Maine average (84%). Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Maine, not nationally.

From Maine state tests taken in spring 2022, when 96% of students in the tested grades sat them, and the class of 2023’s four-year graduation rate, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education.
