5th grade was the worst time of my life. The rules are ridiculous if you ask me. So strict I would never recommend 5th grade there.

Zippel Elementary School gave my brother and I a wonderful environment to learn in, as well as a place to flourish socially with our peers. Even now, after we've moved out of Presque Isle, we continue to visit the MSAD #1 website to see what's new. Thank You to all for everything!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Maine used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math and in grades 5 and 8 in writing. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maine. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
