Summary

Maranacook Community Middle School is a public middle school located in Readfield, Maine, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 297 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 38 district, which is ranked 54 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Maranacook Community Middle School consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science proficiency, with 69.93% and 56.82% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, respectively. However, the school's mathematics proficiency lags behind the state average, with only 34.72% of students proficient or better. Compared to the Regional School Unit 38 district, Maranacook Community Middle School outperforms in ELA and Science, but underperforms in Mathematics. The school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is relatively strong, ranking 42nd and 33rd, respectively, among Maine middle schools in 2024-2025.

One area of concern is the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 18.1% in 2021-2022 to 25.5% in 2022-2023. This trend is worth further investigation and intervention. Interestingly, Maranacook Community Middle School generally outperforms nearby schools, such as Winslow Junior High School and Waterville Junior High School, in academic proficiency across ELA, Mathematics, and Science. However, Messalonskee Middle School, located 15.89 miles away, also demonstrates strong academic performance, ranking similarly to Maranacook in many areas.
