Summary:
The Quabbin region has only one middle school, Quabbin Regional Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 217 out of 501 Massachusetts middle schools in 2022-2023 to 290 out of 484 in 2024-2025, and it now holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Quabbin Regional Middle School struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's 8th grade Civics proficiency rate of 34% also falls short of the state average of 39%. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.4 is slightly higher than the state average, which could contribute to the academic challenges.
Despite the high per-student spending of $15,693, the school's performance has not improved, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the district's resource allocation. Without information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate, it's difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and whether there are any equity concerns that may be impacting the school's performance.
