Summary:

Brockton, Massachusetts has six middle schools serving grades 6–8—Plouffe Middle School, West Middle School, Ashfield Middle School, North Middle School, East Middle School, and South Middle School—together enrolling 2,880 students, with the district (Brockton) ranked 329th of 351 districts statewide at the 6th percentile and 0 stars. District averages are around 15%–20% proficient, versus state averages near 40%. Enrollment ranges from 398 at South to 627 at Plouffe.

Standout schools: Ashfield is strongest overall, with highest all-grade ELA (29.44%), math (32.75%), and science (23.97%), plus the best 2025–2026 rank among the six (303rd of 478, 37th percentile, 2 stars); its 8th-grade math (43.45%) beats the state average of 41.67%. North is a close second, leading in civics (25.83%), 8th-grade ELA (39.02%), and 8th-grade math (44.80%, above state). North improved from the 26th to 36th percentile, and its civics jumped from 6.99% to 25.83%. West leads 6th-grade ELA (27.85%) and nearly ties Ashfield for 6th-grade math (29.75% vs. 29.92%), but its 7th- and 8th-grade math are much lower (14.81%, 15.79%). East has the highest 7th-grade math (26.72%) but lowest science (9.73%). South is smallest with the lowest ratio (10.4:1) but low outcomes (math 16.32%, science 10.45%, civics 9.70%). Plouffe is largest with lowest spending ($16,533) and low scores, declining from 26th to 12th percentile.

Key takeaways: All six schools are below state average in every aggregate subject, except 8th-grade math at North and Ashfield. Ashfield and North are the only schools above the district average in all four subjects and the only two with 2 stars. North’s civics gain is the largest single-year improvement. Spending does not show a simple relationship: North has the highest spending ($18,835) and performs well, but South has the second-highest ($18,527) and performs poorly; Plouffe has the lowest spending and poor outcomes; Ashfield has mid-range spending ($17,516) and is top overall. South’s low ratio does not translate to top outcomes. The district context is very low, but Ashfield and North are relative bright spots. East improved from 10th to 18th percentile.
