Summary

Medomak Valley High School is a public high school located in Waldoboro, Maine, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 560 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 40/Maine School Admin District 40, which is ranked 82 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Medomak Valley High School has had a fluctuating statewide ranking over the years, ranging from 20th to 107th out of Maine high schools. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, from 0 stars to 4 stars. In the most recent year (2024-2025), the school ranked 67th and received a 2-star rating. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with significant variations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating. Medomak Valley High School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Maine Educational Assessments (MEA), has been mixed compared to the state and its district averages. However, the school outperforms Wiscasset Middle/High School, which is ranked lower and has lower proficiency rates, but lags behind the highly-ranked Camden Hills Regional High School.

One area of concern for Medomak Valley High School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 38.4% in recent years. This issue may be contributing to the school's academic performance challenges. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (over 40%) suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's performance. Addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students from low-income backgrounds could be key areas of focus for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
