Summary:

The 04345 zip code is home to a single middle school, Gardiner Regional Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Regional School Unit 11/Maine School Administrative District 11. This middle school has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 46th out of 96 Maine middle schools in 2022-2023 to 30th out of 91 in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gardiner Regional Middle School outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Science, but underperforms in Mathematics. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, it also has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a 41.44% free and reduced-price lunch rate.

Overall, Gardiner Regional Middle School appears to be a relatively strong performer within the state, with some areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. The school's progress in its statewide ranking and its performance in certain subject areas are positive indicators, but the high chronic absenteeism rate and the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population are areas that warrant further attention and strategic planning.
