Summary:
Lewiston Public Schools operates a single middle school, Lewiston Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Located in Lewiston, Maine, the school has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking 91 out of 91 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lewiston Middle School faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (42.51%), Mathematics (16.79%), and Science (16.11%) well below the state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is notably higher than the state average. Additionally, a large percentage of the student population (62.43%) receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student body.
Despite these challenges, Lewiston Middle School does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. However, the school's consistent underperformance and significant gaps in academic achievement suggest that addressing the root causes of these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that takes into account the unique needs and challenges of the school's student population.
