Greely Middle School

Summary:

Greely Middle School is a highly-rated public middle school located in Cumberland, Maine, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 475. As part of the Regional School Unit 51/Maine School Admin District 51, which is ranked 9 out of 177 districts in Maine, Greely Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the state.

Greely Middle School's academic performance is exceptional, with 83.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 69.78% in Mathematics, and 73.08% in Science - significantly exceeding the state averages. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 91.79% of students identifying as White, compared to nearby schools like Daniel F. Mahoney Middle School (69.58% White) and King Middle School (36.64% White). Additionally, Greely Middle School has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (4.42%), much lower than schools like Westbrook Middle School (62.3%) and King Middle School (60.71%).

One of Greely Middle School's key advantages is its favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.1, lower than many nearby schools such as Daniel F. Mahoney Middle School (11.6) and Westbrook Middle School (12.0). This, along with the school's consistent academic excellence, suggests that Greely Middle School has implemented effective teaching and learning strategies. However, the lack of racial and socioeconomic diversity may be an area for the school to explore and potentially address in the future.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
