Summary:

Upton, Massachusetts has three listed public schools serving roughly 2,270 students: one elementary school, Memorial School (K–4), and two high schools, Blackstone Valley and Nipmuc Regional High (both 9–12), with no middle school in this list.

Memorial School is the clear standout. In 2025–26 it ranked 129th of 899 elementary schools (86th percentile, 4 stars), up from 264th of 916 in 2023–24. Its 4th grade math proficiency of 71.28% is 28.08 percentage points above the state, and it beats both its district and the state in every listed ELA and math measure. Nipmuc Regional High is the stronger high school in the latest year, ranking 91st of 353 (74th percentile, 4 stars) after a weaker 2024–25, and finishing above the state in ELA, math, science, and biology. Both belong to the Mendon-Upton district, which ranks 101st of 351.

Blackstone Valley, part of the Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical district, is the largest school at 1,243 students. It posts the best graduation profile in the list — a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate — plus exceptional physics results: 61.26% proficient in 2025–26 versus the state's 46.58%. However, its rank slipped to 126th of 353 (64th percentile, 3 stars), and its biology result (35.96% vs 37.68% statewide) was the only listed 2025–26 test where a Upton school fell below the state mark. Free/reduced-lunch data is not available for any of the three schools, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed.
