Summary:
West Springfield, Massachusetts has a single public middle school—West Springfield Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 909 students at 31 Middle School Dr, and it operates within the West Springfield district—so the city's middle-school picture is essentially this one school's profile.
The most important story is a sharp recent turnaround. In 2025–2026, West Springfield Middle ranked 218th of 478 schools (54th percentile, 3 stars), up from 314th of 484 (35th percentile, 2 stars) the prior year—a 96-position and 19-percentile-point jump, and its strongest of the three reported years. Proficiency rose in every comparable subject: +6.41 points in all-grades ELA, +10.97 in math, +12.96 in science, and +14.33 in 8th grade civics, with each gain outpacing the West Springfield district's gain. 6th grade is the bright spot: math at 47.1% proficient and ELA at 41.73% both exceed district and state averages. 8th grade results beat the district in ELA, math, science, and civics but trail the state, most notably in 8th grade math at 30.22%, which is 11.45 points below state.
All-grades science remains the weakest subject relative to state at 33.58% versus 40.98%, a 7.40-point gap, though it also posted the largest one-year climb from 20.62%. Note that the school's 54th-percentile rank uses a different comparison set than the district's 34th-percentile, 2-star profile, so the two should not be read as directly comparable. Other context: the student-teacher ratio is 11.4, per-student spending is $14,436 but dates to 2020–2021, and the free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank, so economic-disadvantage context is unavailable.
