Best Public Schools in Madawaska, ME

Summary:

The city of Madawaska, Maine is home to two public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Madawaska Elementary School and Madawaska Middle/High School. While both schools share a similar racial makeup with a majority white student population, the middle/high school appears to be the stronger performer overall, with a higher state-wide ranking and graduation rate.

One key difference between the schools is their chronic absenteeism rates. Madawaska Elementary School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 26.0% compared to 29.4% at the middle/high school. This is an area of concern that may require further investigation and intervention. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 49.1%, compared to 34.25% at the middle/high school, suggesting that the elementary school population may face more significant economic challenges.

Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the schools in Madawaska Public Schools. While the middle/high school appears to be the stronger performer, the high chronic absenteeism rates and socioeconomic differences between the schools warrant further analysis to understand the underlying factors and develop targeted interventions to support all students in the district.
