Summary:
The city of Raynham, Massachusetts is home to a single middle school, Raynham Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and is part of the Bridgewater-Raynham school district. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance as measured by MCAS test scores is generally below the state and district averages.
Raynham Middle School's MCAS proficiency rates range from 25.16% in 5th grade English Language Arts to 44.2% in 8th grade English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 38.37% to 44.32% for the same grade levels and subject. The school's mathematics proficiency rates are also below the state and district averages, ranging from 31.11% in 7th grade to 44.38% in 6th grade. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates are particularly low, ranging from 31.45% in 5th grade to 31.87% in 8th grade, compared to state averages of 45.83% and 37.23% for the same grade levels.
Despite the school's relatively low academic performance, it has a higher-than-average spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio. However, the school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 221 out of 484 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 222 out of 493 in 2023-2024 and 253 out of 501 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning and achievement, and implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.
