Summary:

Middletown, Connecticut is home to a single public middle school, Beman Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 985 students. While Beman Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, the school's academic performance lags behind state averages across key metrics.

Beman Middle School is ranked 171 out of 252 Connecticut middle schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (35-38%), Math (21.9-27.7%), and 8th grade Science (33.3%) are all significantly lower than the statewide averages of 50-51%, 40.8-43.2%, and 50.3%, respectively. Additionally, Beman's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes.
