Summary:
Mendon, Massachusetts is home to exactly one middle school, Miscoe Hill School at 148 North Avenue, which serves grades 5 through 8 with 647 students as part of the Mendon-Upton district. Because it is the only middle school in the city, the most useful comparisons are between Miscoe Hill and its district and state averages, as well as across grades, subjects, and years.
Miscoe Hill holds a 4-star rating in each of the three recent school years shown and ranks in the top roughly 26–29% of Massachusetts middle schools — 138 of 478 (71st percentile) in 2025–2026, 124 of 484 (74th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 138 of 493 (72nd percentile) in 2023–2024. In 2025–2026 it scored above the state average in every reported MCAS subject and grade, and in 2024–2025 it also topped the state in ELA, Mathematics, Science, and 8th-grade Civics. ELA is a particular strength: 7th-grade ELA reached 52.35% proficient versus the state's 39.91%, a +12.44 point advantage. 6th-grade Mathematics (50.00% vs. 42.59%) and 5th-grade Science (49.37% vs. 43.07%) were also well above state.
Year-over-year results are mixed but generally strong. All-grade Mathematics improved from 44.13% to 46.49%, while ELA slipped slightly from 48.58% to 47.52% and Science fell from 50.17% to 45.90% — both still above district and state. 8th-grade Civics dropped from a standout 55.81% in 2024–2025 to 42.69% in 2025–2026; since Civics is reported only for 8th grade, this reflects a different cohort. The school's only aggregate soft spot is all-grade Mathematics, 46.49% versus the district's 50.63%, though grade-level results do not show that gap. Other details: student-teacher ratio is 13.1, per-student spending is $16,464 (2020–2021, historical), and free/reduced lunch data is not available for 2024–2025.
