Summary:
The Quabbin area contains exactly one middle school: Quabbin Regional Middle School in Barre, MA, serving grades 6–8 with 510 students. Because it is the only middle school in this list, there are no in-area peer schools to compare it against, so its results are best read against district and state benchmarks. The school's district ranks 248 of 351 statewide (29th percentile, 1 star). Its student-teacher ratio is 14.7 (2024–2025) and spending per student was $15,693 (2020–2021). Free/reduced lunch data is not reported in this data set, so no poverty context is available.
In 2025–2026, the school's proficiency is below the state in every reported subject and grade. All-grade results are nearly identical across subjects — ELA 25.24%, math 25.19%, and science 25.15% — compared with roughly 40–41% statewide, gaps of about 15–16 points. The largest shortfall is 7th grade ELA at 19.21% versus 39.91% statewide (20.70 points below), while the strongest result is 6th grade ELA at 30.81%, still 9.45 points below the state. Math slips gradually from 6th grade (27.91%) to 7th (24.14%) to 8th (23.56%). At each reported grade level the school is slightly above the district, but at the All Grades level it is below the district in ELA, math, and science — a nuance worth noting rather than reading as a simple below-district pattern.
The rank trend is clearly negative: the school moved from 260 of 493 (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 290 of 484 (40th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025, and now 343 of 478 (28th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026 — essentially matching the district's 29th percentile. Year over year, ELA fell 7.05 points, math 1.13 points, and science 3.32 points, while 8th grade civics had the sharpest drop, from 34.04% to 22.42% (11.62 points), moving from a relative bright spot to 17.35 points below the state. The district's civics score fell sharply as well, so that decline is not unique to this school.
