Summary:

Mendon, Massachusetts has just two schools in this data set — Miscoe Hill School (middle school, grades 5–8, 647 students) and Henry P Clough (elementary, grades PK–4, 398 students), together serving about 1,045 students in the Mendon-Upton district. There is no high school in town, so older students are likely served elsewhere. The district is ranked 101 of 351 statewide, at the 71st percentile with 4 stars. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for both schools, so socioeconomic context is unknown rather than zero.

Miscoe Hill School is the steadier performer: a 4-star school in all three rank-history years, with a rank percentile of 72 → 74 → 71. In 2025–2026 it scored above the state in every tested subject — ELA 47.52 vs 40.03, math 46.49 vs 41.11, science 45.90 vs 40.98, and civics 42.69 vs 39.77. Its strongest grade-level result was 7th grade ELA at 52.35, 12.44 points above the state. Its one soft spot relative to peers is math, 4.14 points below the district even while beating the state. Civics fell sharply from 55.81 to 42.69, but that reflects a different tested cohort.

Henry P Clough is a 3-star school with a declining rank percentile (66 → 60 → 52) and a strongly split profile. Math is a real strength: all-grade math is 50.35, essentially matching the district's 50.63 and 9.24 points above the state, and its 4th grade math score of 52.38 is the highest 2025–2026 result in the data set. ELA is the clear concern, at 35.92 all-grade — 4.11 points below the state and 11.90 below the district — with 4th grade ELA at 26.51, the lowest score in the data set and 10.92 points below the state.
