Summary

Easton Middle in Easton, MD, serves 703 students in grades 6-8 within the Talbot County Public Schools district, where nearly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high level of economic disadvantage in the area.

Academically, Easton Middle faces significant challenges, with math proficiency at 14.3% and English Language Arts at 38.6% for the 2025-2026 school year—well below state averages and dramatically lower than nearby schools in Queen Anne’s County. For example, Matapeake Middle School boasts 33.9% math proficiency and 74% ELA proficiency, while Centreville Middle School and Stevensville Middle School also outperform Easton by wide margins. However, Easton Middle has a standout Algebra I program, with 54.7% of test-takers proficient—2.5 times the state average—suggesting strong acceleration for a select group of students. Chronic absenteeism is a persistent issue at 25.6%, higher than the district average and notably above Centreville’s 18.9%.

Subgroup performance reveals critical gaps, with Special Education students ranking in the 1st percentile statewide and Hispanic and African American students in the 9th and 10th percentiles, respectively. While spending per student at $18,732 is comparable to high-performing peers like Matapeake Middle School ($18,971), the school’s outcomes lag behind, indicating that resource allocation—especially for interventions and reducing absenteeism—is key. The stark contrast with Queen Anne’s County schools, all rated 4 stars, highlights how county-level factors influence performance, making Easton Middle’s improvement efforts a priority for the Talbot County Public Schools district.
