Summary:
The Regional School Unit 59/Maine School Admin District 59 contains two elementary schools: Main Street Middle School and Madison Elementary School. While both schools serve elementary grades, they appear to be underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates.
Main Street Middle School had lower proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages. Both schools also had a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 60.57% to 71.85%.
The overall performance of the schools within the Regional School Unit 59/Maine School Admin District 59 is a concern, as the district is ranked 151 out of 177 districts in Maine and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Addressing the factors behind the high absenteeism rates and supporting the socioeconomically disadvantaged student populations could be crucial in improving the academic performance of these schools.
