Piscataquis County had the third-lowest graduation rate in the state.

Maine's graduation rate rebounded to 87%, reaching pre-pandemic highs, according to the latest data from the Maine Department of Education Data Warehouse. However, data shows a possible achievement gap, with white students graduating at a higher rate than students of color.

Graduation rate data may be slightly innacurate due to incomplete reporting from some schools.
