Summary:
There is only one middle school located in Regional School Unit 64/Maine School Admin District 64, which is Central Middle School. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Maine middle schools over the past three years, indicating significant challenges with academic performance.
Central Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all well below the state averages, with only 55.31% of students proficient or better in ELA, 26.99% in Math, and 27.16% in Science. The school also has a high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 43.78%, suggesting a population of economically disadvantaged students, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.7%, which is notably higher than the state average.
Despite having a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12.6, the school's overall academic performance remains poor, indicating that simply having smaller class sizes may not be enough to address the underlying issues. Addressing the challenges faced by Central Middle School will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation adjustments, and a deeper understanding of the specific needs of the student population.
