Summary:

Regional School Unit 03/Maine School Admin District 03 contains a single middle school, Mt View Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance and characteristics have seen some concerning trends in recent years, with a steady decline in its statewide ranking and mixed academic results on state assessments.

Mt View Middle School's statewide ranking has dropped from 56th out of 91 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 93rd out of 96 in 2022-2023, a significant decline. The school's proficiency rates on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) have been mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts and Science but weaknesses in Mathematics, where the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (58.72% in 2023-2024), indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

One area of particular concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which stood at 23.4% in 2023-2024. This high rate of chronic absenteeism may be impacting student learning and academic performance, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions to address this issue. Overall, the data suggests that Regional School Unit 03/Maine School Admin District 03 and Mt View Middle School face several challenges in ensuring the academic success and well-being of their students.
