The Bromfield Middle School up 6 spots statewide this year
Summary:

Harvard has three public schools serving PK–12: one elementary, one middle, and one high school, with 1,023 students total. Hildreth Elementary School serves PK–5 with 451 students (about 44.1%), The Bromfield Middle School serves 6–8 with 244 students (about 23.9%), and The Bromfield High School serves 9–12 with 328 students (about 32.1%). The district is highly ranked: 19th of 351 districts, 95th percentile, and 5 stars in Massachusetts.

Secondary schools are the strongest. The Bromfield High School is elite: 2025–2026 rank 10th of 353 (97th percentile, 5 stars), 2024–2025 11th of 349, and 2023–2024 2nd of 348. Its 2025–2026 proficiency is 92.77% ELA and 90.36% math, versus state 45.48% and 43.73%, with a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout. The Bromfield Middle School is consistently 5-star, ranking 32nd of 478 in 2025–2026. Its 7th-grade math was 52.63%, below its 6th (77.38%) and 8th (72.73%) grades but still above the state’s 37.48%. Hildreth Elementary School ranks 119th of 899 (87th percentile, 4 stars); its 2025–2026 ELA and math fell from 2024–2025 but remain above state, and science is a strength at 77.05% (state 40.98%).

Every reported MCAS proficiency rate for all three schools is above the Massachusetts average in both years, and science is a district-wide strength. Student-teacher ratios are lowest at The Bromfield Middle School (10.2), then The Bromfield High School (11.0), then Hildreth Elementary School (13.4). Per-student spending is about $19,599 at Hildreth and $19,446 at Bromfield High, but middle school spending is not provided. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported for any school, so socioeconomic context is unavailable. The main areas to watch are the 7th-grade math dip at Bromfield Middle, Hildreth’s 2025–2026 decline and below-district ELA/math results, and those missing data points.
