Summary:
East Bridgewater has three public schools serving about 2,013 students: two elementary schools, Central (PK–2) and Gordon W. Mitchell School (3–6), plus East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School, which spans grades 7–12 and enrolls 881 students — 43.8% of the district. There is no standalone middle school; the middle grades sit inside the junior/senior high. The East Bridgewater district is ranked 233 out of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 34th percentile with 2 stars.
Current MCAS results show a clear elementary-vs-secondary split. Gordon W. Mitchell School is the strongest performer: above the district in ELA, math, and science, and above the state in science (42.07% vs 40.98%), with 6th-grade math also above state at 46.41%. East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School is below the district in all three all-grade subjects — ELA 26.60%, math 21.36%, science 32.26%, versus state rates of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Seventh grade is the weakest spot, with ELA at 18.88% and math at 14.89%, both more than 21 points below state. Science is the high school's bright spot: 10th-grade science is 51.61% and Biology is 47.14%, both well above state. Eighth-grade civics, at 29.61%, remains roughly 10 points below state.
The two graded schools are trending in opposite directions. The high school climbed from the 26th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 57th percentile in 2025–2026, and reports a 98.3% graduation rate with a 1.7% dropout rate. Gordon W. Mitchell slipped from the 51st to the 43rd percentile. Central has no MCAS scores in this data set, so academic comparison is not possible; it does have the highest per-student spending at $15,916, while Mitchell has the lowest student/teacher ratio at 11.5. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for all three schools.
