Summary:
Regional School Unit 44/Maine School Admin District 44 contains a single middle school, Telstar Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, its statewide ranking has declined, and it underperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency.
Telstar Middle School has a predominantly white student population, with 88.37% of students identifying as white. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 60.87% and math proficiency rate of 37.04% are both lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may also be impacting the school's performance, as 47.09% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 10:1 suggests that class sizes are not a significant factor in the school's challenges. Overall, the data indicates that Telstar Middle School faces several obstacles in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's performance and outcomes.
