Summary:
The Regional School Unit 52/Maine School Admin District 52 contains a single middle school, Tripp Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 with 289 students. While the school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts and Science but weaknesses in Mathematics, its overall statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly in recent years, ranging from 24th out of 92 middle schools to 49th out of 96.
Tripp Middle School's student population is predominantly White (95.85%), with limited racial diversity. The school has a relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 26.99%, indicating a relatively low percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its inconsistent academic performance.
Despite these challenges, Tripp Middle School benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, suggesting smaller class sizes that may provide more individualized attention for students. By addressing the root causes of the school's fluctuating rankings, low Mathematics proficiency, and high chronic absenteeism, the Regional School Unit 52/Maine School Admin District 52 can work to improve the overall quality of education for the students at Tripp Middle School.
