Middle Schools in Regional School Unit 52/Maine School Admin District 52

Summary:

Regional School Unit 52/Maine School Admin District 52 contains a single middle school, Tripp Middle School, which serves grades 7-8. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating in the past, its current 2-star rating and declining statewide ranking suggest it is not among the top-performing middle schools in Maine.

Tripp Middle School has an enrollment of 326 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11.8, slightly lower than the state average. However, the school's academic performance has been declining, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (59.08%), Mathematics (33.55%), and Science (43.21%) all below state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's statewide ranking has also fallen from 49th out of 96 Maine middle schools in 2022-2023 to 63rd out of 91 in 2024-2025.

Additionally, Tripp Middle School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes, and should be a priority for the school and Regional School Unit 52/Maine School Admin District 52 to address.
