Summary:
The Regional School Unit 54/Maine School Admin District 54 contains a single middle school, Skowhegan Area Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and has a total enrollment of 403 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (94.54%), and a significant portion (61.54%) of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with economic challenges.
Academically, Skowhegan Area Middle School performs reasonably well, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 30.8% is concerning and may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1 suggests that class sizes are manageable, which could be a strength.
Over the past three years, Skowhegan Area Middle School has fluctuated in its ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger, with a slight improvement in the most recent year. This indicates that the school's performance may be variable, and continued focus on improvement could help enhance its educational outcomes for students.
