Summary:
Littleton has one middle school in this data set, Littleton Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 373 students as part of the Littleton district at 55 Russell Street. It is a consistently high-performing school: it holds a 4-star rating in 2025–2026, ranks 62nd of 478 Massachusetts middle schools (87th percentile), and previously ranked 50th of 484 (90th percentile) and 52nd of 493 (89th percentile), keeping it in the top tier over three years. The district itself ranks 37th of 351 districts, in the 89th percentile with 4 stars.
Its clearest strengths are English Language Arts and Science. In 2025–2026, the school scored 69.57% proficient in ELA and 70.08% in Science, compared with state averages of 40.03% and 40.98% — roughly 29–30 points above the state. Mathematics is also strong at 60.05%, about 19 points above the state’s 41.11%, but only 0.61 points above the district’s 59.44%, so math is solid rather than where the school separates most from its district. By grade, seventh grade stands out in 2025–2026 with 76.32% in ELA and 65.79% in math, while sixth-grade math is the lowest core result at 55.91%, still 13.32 points above the state. Eighth-grade Civics scored 56.69%, the lowest 2025–2026 subject, down 13.12 points from 69.81%, though district civics also fell sharply and civics remains 16.92 points above the state’s 39.77%.
Year over year, Science improved from 66.98% to 70.08% (+3.10 points) and became the top all-grade subject, while ELA declined from 72.98% to 69.57% (−3.41 points) but remains far above district and state averages. Civics declined most, and math dipped slightly. Note that all-grade Science reflects grade 8 only, since middle-school science is reported at grade 8, and Civics is also grade 8 only. The free/reduced lunch percentage is not provided, so socioeconomic context is unavailable; the $14,891 per-student spending figure is from 2020–2021 and the 12.9 student-teacher ratio is from 2024–2025. Overall, this is a stable, high-achieving middle school with particular strength in ELA and Science.
