Madawaska Public Schools

Summary:

The Madawaska Public Schools district in Maine consists of two schools: Madawaska Elementary School and Madawaska Middle/High School. While Madawaska Middle/High School has maintained a strong 4-star rating and high statewide ranking, Madawaska Elementary School has experienced a significant decline in its performance, dropping from a 3-star to a 1-star rating over the past two school years.

Madawaska Middle/High School stands out as a high-performing school, ranked 26th out of 123 Maine high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This consistent high performance is likely attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which may contribute to more personalized attention for students. In contrast, Madawaska Elementary School has seen a concerning drop in its statewide ranking, from 99th out of 210 Maine elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 204th out of 290 in 2022-2023, accompanied by a decline in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 1 star.

The data also reveals socioeconomic differences between the two schools, with Madawaska Elementary School having a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (49.1%) compared to Madawaska Middle/High School (34.25%). This disparity may have implications for the resources and support needed to address the unique challenges faced by students from lower-income households. Overall, the analysis of the Madawaska Public Schools district presents a mixed picture, with one school maintaining high performance while the other experiences a concerning decline, highlighting the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues.
