The school is part of the Regional School Unit 15/Maine School Admin District 15 and has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking over the past few years, currently ranking 34th out of 91 Maine middle schools.
Gray-New Gloucester Middle School has a student enrollment of 498 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) that exceed the district and state averages, but lower proficiency in math and science compared to the district. One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which could be impacting student learning. The school's free/reduced lunch rate of 30.72% suggests a moderate level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Overall, Gray-New Gloucester Middle School appears to be a moderately performing school within its district and the state of Maine. While the school excels in ELA, there are opportunities for improvement in math and science proficiency. The school's fluctuating ranking and high chronic absenteeism rate are areas that warrant further investigation and potential interventions to support student success.
