Summary:

Regional School Unit 05 in Maine is home to a single standout middle school, Freeport Middle School, which has consistently ranked among the top 10 middle schools in the state over the past three school years. This high-performing institution serves students in grades 6-8 and has maintained a 5-star rating from School Digger, indicating it is one of the highest-performing schools in Maine.

Freeport Middle School's academic excellence is evident in its significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 80.71%, compared to 76.68% for the district and 63.84% for the state. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, while higher than the state average, is still lower than the national average for middle schools.

Freeport Middle School's success can be attributed to its focus on small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 10:1, and its relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 23.97% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is lower than the state average. These factors, combined with the school's strong leadership and educational program, have contributed to its consistently high performance and recognition as a standout institution within Regional School Unit 05.
