Summary:
The Ashburnham-Westminster school district in Massachusetts has one middle school, Overlook Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 535 students.
Overlook Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 172nd out of 501 Massachusetts middle schools in 2022-2023 to 190th out of 484 in 2024-2025, suggesting the school's performance may be slipping relative to other middle schools in the state. The school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is mixed, outperforming the state average in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts, as well as 8th grade Civics, but underperforming the state average in 6th grade ELA and all grades of Mathematics.
Overlook Middle School has a student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1, which is slightly better than the state average, and the school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $13,919, which is above the state average. However, without data on the school's free and reduced lunch rate, it's difficult to assess how the socioeconomic status of the student population may be impacting the school's performance.
