Summary:
Concord, Massachusetts has just one middle school — Concord Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 643 students — so parents here are looking at a single option rather than a choice among schools. It sits at 923 Old Marlboro Road and belongs to the Concord district, which ranks 28th of 351 districts statewide (92nd percentile, 5 stars).
Concord Middle is a 5-star school that has ranked among the top schools in Massachusetts in each of the last three years: 23rd of 478 schools (95th percentile) in 2025–2026, 10th of 484 (98th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 22nd of 493 (96th percentile) in 2023–2024 — consistently within the top 5% of ranked schools. Its 2025–2026 MCAS proficiency is far above the state in every subject: 72.67% versus 40.03% in English Language Arts, 73.93% versus 41.11% in Mathematics, and 77.31% versus 40.98% in Science. Because the Concord district is itself high-performing, the school's edge over its own district is smaller — +4.71 points in ELA, +4.41 in Math, and +7.36 in Science.
Every reported grade-level score also beats the state by a wide margin, from +26.74 points in 8th-grade Civics to +38.38 points in 8th-grade Science, so no single subject is carrying the results. Year over year, Math improved (71.59% to 73.93%), while ELA (80.10% to 72.67%), Science (80.10% to 77.31%), and Civics 8 (73.13% to 66.51%) slipped from a very high base. Grade-level variation exists: Math 6 is the strongest reported score at 78.47%, while Math 8 is weakest among math grades at 68.81% and Civics 8 is lowest overall at 66.51%. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 9.6, and per-student spending was $22,359 in 2020–2021, the only year reported. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed from this data.
