Se Do Mo Cha Middle School

Summary:

Se Do Mo Cha Middle School is a public middle school located in Dover Foxcroft, Maine, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 295 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 68/Maine School Administrative District 68, which is ranked 122 out of 177 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Se Do Mo Cha Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (around 90%) compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in MEA (Maine Educational Assessments) tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates were 53.66% in English Language Arts, 39.79% in Mathematics, and 26.71% in Science, compared to the state averages of 64.63%, 48.68%, and 36.36%, respectively. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.9% in 2020-2021 to 25.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average. Approximately 45% of the students at Se Do Mo Cha Middle School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to the nearby Central Middle School in Corinth, Maine, Se Do Mo Cha Middle School has a slightly higher percentage of white students, a lower chronic absenteeism rate, and better academic performance, particularly in Mathematics. However, both schools are performing below the state averages in most academic areas. Despite these challenges, the school's ability to support certain subgroups, such as female and low-socioeconomic status students, suggests that it may have some effective practices that could be leveraged to improve overall student outcomes.

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.
