Public, Charter Grades

Summary

Harpswell Coastal Academy Division 1 is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in the small coastal town of Harpswell, Maine, with a student population of 78. While the school has shown strong academic performance in English Language Arts, it has struggled with weaker math scores and high chronic absenteeism rates compared to nearby public middle schools.

Academically, Daniel F. Mahoney Middle School and King Middle School have lower proficiency rates in ELA than Harpswell Coastal Academy Division 1, but the school's math performance lags significantly behind the state average and nearby schools like Falmouth Middle School and Greely Middle School. Additionally, Harpswell Coastal Academy Division 1 has grappled with chronic absenteeism rates as high as 41.1%, much higher than the 10.6% to 23.4% range seen at nearby public middle schools.

However, the school has been able to serve a more socioeconomically diverse student population than some of the higher-performing schools in the area, ranking 8th out of 66 Maine middle schools for its performance with low-income students in the 2020-2021 school year. This achievement is notable, but the school's fluctuating statewide ranking, from 85th out of 86 in 2018-2019 to 34th out of 92 in 2020-2021, suggests the need for continued improvement and stability to best serve its students.
