Summary

Bath Middle School is a public middle school located in Bath, Maine, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 336 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 01 (LKRSU) district, which is ranked 86 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bath Middle School has seen fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 25th to 86th out of Maine middle schools and its SchoolDigger rating varying from 0 to 4 stars. The school has performed relatively well for its White student population, ranking as high as 13th out of 44 Maine middle schools in 2020-2021. However, it has struggled with its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups, ranking 82nd and 83rd out of 86 and 91 Maine middle schools, respectively, in 2024-2025. Bath Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been consistently lower than the regional and state averages, and the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 29.4% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Freeport Middle School and Brunswick Junior High School, Bath Middle School's performance is generally lower, with the school outperforming only Oak Hill Middle School, which is located in the lower-ranked Regional School Unit 04 district. The school's declining performance and significant equity concerns for certain student subgroups suggest the need for the school and district to identify and implement strategies to improve student outcomes.
