Summary:
There is only one middle school located in Leicester, Massachusetts - the Leicester Middle School. This school serves students in grades 5-8 and is part of the Leicester school district.
The Leicester Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 267th out of 501 Massachusetts middle schools in 2022-2023 to 282nd out of 484 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is generally below the state average across all grades and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.08% to 40.74% in English Language Arts, 22.47% to 31.87% in mathematics, and 42.86% to 35% in science, compared to state averages of 38.37% to 44.32%, 39.93% to 41.25%, and 45.83% to 37.23%, respectively.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student at $14,467 for the 2020-2021 school year, the data suggests that the Leicester Middle School may be struggling to keep up with the academic standards of other middle schools in Massachusetts. The declining performance and below-average proficiency rates indicate a need for improvement, and further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these trends could help the school develop targeted strategies to better serve its students.
