Summary

Medway Middle School is a public middle school in Medway, Maine, serving 119 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Medway Public Schools district, which is ranked 137 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Medway Middle School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average academic performance, and a declining statewide ranking. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA), is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 29.52% of Medway Middle School students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 43.08% for the Medway Public Schools district and 49.38% for the state. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.2 to 10.8 over the past few years, suggests a more personalized learning environment.

Interestingly, the nearest comparable school, Mattanawcook Junior High School, located approximately 17.6 miles away, has generally higher academic performance than Medway Middle School. Additionally, Medway Middle School's performance on the MEA varies across different student subgroups, with low-socioeconomic status students performing better than the overall student population. While the school faces challenges, these insights suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the root causes of the school's issues, such as student engagement and support for low-socioeconomic status students.

Great school! Parent friendly. Teachers could be more prepared on bullying issues. New principle is moving the school in a very positive direction. Close Quote
