Summary

Madawaska Middle/High School is a public school serving 212 students in grades 6-12 in Madawaska, Maine, which is part of the Madawaska Public Schools district. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 26th out of 98 schools in 2021-2022 to 83rd out of 119 schools in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 1 to 4 stars out of 5.

One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 23.4% to 27.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the rates at nearby Fort Kent Community High School (23.4%) and Wisdom Middle High School (23.4%). Additionally, while the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates have been relatively strong, its Mathematics proficiency rates have been lower, ranging from 31.15% to 86.84% proficient or better, compared to the Madawaska Public Schools district and the state of Maine.

The school also serves a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (34.43% in 2023-2024) compared to Fort Kent Community High School (29.08%), which may indicate that the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population. By addressing the key challenges identified, such as inconsistent academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and the Mathematics proficiency gap, Madawaska Middle/High School may be able to enhance its educational outcomes and better serve its students.
