Greely Middle School is also a top performer, ranking among the top 6 middle schools in the state with high test scores. At the elementary level, Mabel I. Wilson School stands out, ranking among the top 20 elementary schools in Maine with strong test scores.
Overall, the schools in Cumberland demonstrate a high level of academic achievement, with test scores well above the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, the district may want to address the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the low rates of free and reduced lunch recipients suggest the district may not be serving a diverse student population, and the district should explore ways to ensure equity and inclusion.
