Summary

Cony Middle School is a public middle school in Augusta, Maine, serving 329 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Augusta Public Schools district, which is ranked 127 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cony Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 51.36% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 27.85% in Mathematics, and 25.18% in Science, all significantly lower than the state averages. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.4% to 40.2% over the past few years. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Winslow Junior High School, Messalonskee Middle School, and Gardiner Regional Middle School, Cony Middle School generally underperforms.

Despite these challenges, Cony Middle School performs relatively well for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, suggesting the school may be able to apply successful strategies from these subgroups to improve the performance of other underperforming groups. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 44.68% to 51.97%, may also be contributing to the school's academic challenges, and addressing these underlying issues could be a key focus for the school and district to improve overall student outcomes.
