Summary:

Lunenburg, MA is a small district of four schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high — serving grades PK–12 with 1,553 students in total, and the district overall ranks 166 of 351, 53rd percentile, 3 stars. Enrollment is spread fairly evenly: Lunenburg High has 452 students (29.1%), Lunenburg Middle School 382 (24.6%), Lunenburg Primary School 374 (24.1%), and Turkey Hill Elementary School 345 (22.2%). Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all four schools, so poverty context cannot be analyzed.

Lunenburg Middle School is the academic standout, ranking 148 of 478 (69th percentile) in 2025–26 with unusually strong Civics results — 53.33% proficient in 8th grade versus 39.77% statewide. Lunenburg High has the largest enrollment and the lowest student/teacher ratio (12.3), a 97% graduation rate, and 10th-grade ELA (49.06%) and math (47.12%) above the state (45.48% and 43.73%). Its science, though, is below state (34.02% vs 40.50%), and its rank has slipped from 98/348 (72nd percentile) in 2023–24 to 155/353 (56th percentile) in 2025–26.

Turkey Hill Elementary School shows the sharpest contrast: all-grade math is 50.00% versus 41.11% statewide and grade 5 math is 53.27% versus 39.50%, while all-grade ELA is 34.29% versus 40.03% and grade 5 ELA only 20.75% versus 38.15%. Lunenburg Primary School serves PK–2 and has no test-score or rank history. ELA declined across every tested school from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and spending ($14,554–$15,432 per student in 2020–21) and class size (12.3 to 18.1) show no simple relationship with outcomes here.
