Middle Schools in Biddeford Public Schools

Biddeford Public Schools in Maine has only one middle school, Biddeford Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and has a total enrollment of 631 students. While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 10.2 to 1, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, lags behind both the district and state averages, particularly in math and science.

Biddeford Middle School's student population is predominantly White (76.7%), with smaller percentages of African American (9.19%), Hispanic (6.34%), Asian (2.06%), Native American (0.32%), and two or more races (5.39%) students. However, the school serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with over 58% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's challenges, as evidenced by its high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.4%.

Overall, while Biddeford Public Schools has only one middle school, the data suggests that Biddeford Middle School faces significant hurdles in terms of academic achievement, attendance, and the socioeconomic status of its student population. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school improve and better serve its students.
