Medway Public Schools

Medway Public Schools is a small school district in Maine, consisting of only one middle school, Medway Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. With a total enrollment of 110 students, the school has a predominantly white student population and a relatively high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with over 50% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Medway Middle School once ranked 68th out of 86 Maine middle schools in the 2018-2019 school year, its performance has since declined, with the school now ranking 94th out of 96 middle schools in the state. This drop in ranking is concerning and may be indicative of broader challenges the school is facing, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 35.4%, which are significantly higher than the national average. However, the school does have a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.1, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students.

Overall, the data paints a picture of a school that is struggling to maintain its academic performance and address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. The Medway Public Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and reverse the school's declining state-wide ranking.
