Summary:

Medway, Massachusetts is a four-school public district — two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12, with a combined enrollment of 2,158. The Medway district ranks 54th of 351 Massachusetts districts, placing it in the 85th percentile with 4 stars, and every ranked Medway school also holds 4 stars.

Medway Middle, the largest school (677 students, grades 5–8), is the most consistent performer: its rank percentile has held at 83–84 for three years, and its 2025–26 all-grade proficiency was 60.18% in ELA, 60.09% in math, and 61.01% in science — roughly 19–20 points above the state. Eighth-grade civics is the exception, dropping to 43.98%, though it still exceeds the state's 39.77%. Medway High (622 students, grades 9–12) posts a 94.8% graduation rate and particularly strong science results, with biology at 67.72% proficient, more than 30 points above the state.

Burke/Memorial Elementary School (506 students, grades 2–4) is stronger in math (61.76%) than in ELA (52.94%), and both subjects slipped from the prior year as its rank percentile fell from 86 to 79. John D Mc Govern Elementary serves PK–1 and has no state test data, so it cannot be compared on MCAS; it does have the highest per-student spending of the four. Meanwhile, Medway High spends the least yet posts strong results, and free/reduced-lunch data is not reported here, so the figures cannot support an equity comparison.
