Summary:
Westbrook Public Schools in Maine has one middle school, Westbrook Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and has a total enrollment of 732 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant proportion of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. However, Westbrook Middle School's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state averages in English Language Arts, mathematics, and science.
Westbrook Middle School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.1% and a high percentage of students (62.3%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages among the student population. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 is generally considered favorable for student learning, but this has not translated into stronger academic outcomes.
While Westbrook Middle School is the only middle school in the Westbrook Public Schools district, its academic performance is generally lower than the state averages. This suggests that the district as a whole may need to focus on improving educational outcomes, particularly in the areas of math and science, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
