Summary:

Bridgewater, Massachusetts, is served by five schools in this data — all part of the Bridgewater-Raynham district — spanning pre-kindergarten through grade 12 and enrolling 4,119 students combined. That includes one comprehensive high school, one middle school, two elementary/intermediate schools, and one very small specialized therapeutic school. The district is rated 222 of 351 (37th percentile, 2 stars), but that rating also covers Raynham schools and should not be read as a summary of just these five Bridgewater schools.

Sizes and results differ sharply. Bridgewater-Raynham Regional is the largest (1,487 students) and ranks highest here — 172 of 353, 51st percentile, 3 stars in 2025–2026 — above the district in all three recent years. Its science and biology scores beat the state, and its graduation rate is 94.5% with a 2.5% dropout rate, but ELA proficiency (35.22%) trails the state's 45.48%. Edward J. O'Donoghue Middle School (828 students) has slipped from the 63rd to the 48th percentile and lost a star, though 6th grade math stands out at 47.17%. Williams Intermediate School (863 students) sits at the 34th percentile; it beats the district in math and science but has the weakest ELA among tested schools, 26.63% versus the state's 40.03%. Mitchell Elementary School (931 students, PK–2) has no test or rank data, consistent with its early-grade focus. Therapeutic Day School is a 10-student, grades 5–12 therapeutic setting with a 3.4 student-teacher ratio and $48,191 per-student spending — an outlier best not compared with the others.

Patterns vary by grade, not just by school: 6th grade math is strong at O'Donoghue while 7th and 8th grade math lag, and Williams' 5th grade math and science beat the district while ELA is low across grades 3–5. Free/reduced-lunch data is missing for every school, and spending figures date to 2020–2021, so cost comparisons should be treated cautiously.
