Medomak Middle School

Summary:

Medomak Middle School is a public middle school located in Waldoboro, Maine, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 293 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 40/Maine School Admin District 40, which is ranked 80 out of 177 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Medomak Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.17% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby Camden-Rockport Middle School and Oceanside Middle School, which have more racial diversity. Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the top half of Maine middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its performance on state assessments (MEA) is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages. Notably, Medomak Middle School ranked 1st out of 37 Maine middle schools for its performance on state assessments for special education students in the 2018-2019 school year.

However, Medomak Middle School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.3% in 2020-2021 to 35.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.37% to 54.55% over the past three school years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. These factors suggest that Medomak Middle School may face unique challenges in serving its student population and could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these areas of concern.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
