With only one middle school in the area, it is the standout by default, but it also earns that standing on the numbers. It has held 5 stars in every year of rank history: 22nd of 478 schools (95th percentile) in 2025–2026, 37th of 484 (92nd percentile) in 2024–2025, and 21st of 493 (96th percentile) in 2023–2024. On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, ELA proficiency was 78.77% at the school versus 40.03% statewide, and math was 69.62% versus 41.11%. Grade-level results are steady: ELA at 79.52 (6th), 79.54 (7th), and 77.19 (8th); math at 70.65, 68.85, and 69.23. Science was 75.77% for 8th grade (state 38.93%) and civics 69.08% (state 39.77%).
The biggest year-over-year change is science, up from 59.60% in 2024–2025 to 75.77% in 2025–2026 (+16.17 points), along with civics, which rose from 56.75% to 69.08% (+12.33).

The school generally leads its district in ELA (78.77 vs 72.95), math (69.62 vs 67.61), and civics (69.08 vs 69.03); the exception is all-grades science, where the district's 77.68 is higher than the school's 75.77, though the more comparable 8th-grade science result shows the school slightly ahead. Student-teacher ratio is 11.6 (2024–2025) and per-student spending was $17,012 (2020–2021); free/reduced lunch data is unknown, so poverty context cannot be assessed. Overall, proficiency runs roughly 1.7x to 2x the state average.
