Summary:
The Regional School Unit 87/Maine School Admin District 23 contains a single middle school, Caravel Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 93.1% of students identifying as white, its academic performance is below the regional and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Caravel Middle School's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6% is higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic achievement. Additionally, with 40.89% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, who may require additional resources and support to ensure their academic success.
Overall, while Caravel Middle School is the only middle school in the district, its performance data suggests that it may not be a standout school in the region. Addressing areas of concern, such as improving academic achievement, reducing chronic absenteeism, and providing equitable support for economically disadvantaged students, could be important priorities for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
