Summary:
Holyoke, Massachusetts has exactly one middle school in this data set: Lt Clayre Sullivan Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 463 students as part of the Holyoke district. Because it is the only Holyoke middle school listed, there are no side-by-side comparisons with another local middle school; the most useful comparisons are between this school, its district, and Massachusetts overall.
Academically, the school trails the state by wide margins. In 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation results, all-grade ELA proficiency was 11.05% at the school versus 40.03% statewide, mathematics was 3.91% versus 41.11%, and science was 5.30% versus 40.98%. Mathematics is the weakest area, and 7th grade math was the lowest single result at 1.72%, compared with 37.48% statewide. The school holds 0 stars in every reported year, its district ranks 346 of 351 statewide (1st percentile), and the school's own state rank was 467 of 478 (2nd percentile) in 2025–2026. Per-student spending was $17,505 in 2020–2021 and the student-teacher ratio was 10.4 in 2024–2025; free/reduced lunch data is not reported and should be treated as unknown rather than as a sign of weakness.
Scores declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in every all-grade subject: ELA from 11.49% to 11.05%, mathematics from 6.04% to 3.91%, science from 7.95% to 5.30%, and civics from 11.41% to 9.85%. One bright spot is that the school outperformed the Holyoke district in ELA grades 6–8, math grades 6 and 8, science grade 8, and civics grade 8, though its all-grade math and science results fell below district figures. Those grade-level advantages are small relative to the large gaps to the state, making this school a clear priority for improvement.
