Middle Schools in Marlborough

Marlborough, Massachusetts is home to a single middle school, the 1 LT Charles W. Whitcomb School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, this school appears to be an underperformer compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking 383 out of 484 middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The 1 LT Charles W. Whitcomb School struggles with significantly lower proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments compared to state averages across all subjects and grade levels. In 2024-2025, only 24.58% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 18.69% were proficient or better in math, compared to state averages of 41.53% and 40.74% respectively. The school's per-student spending of $17,568 for the 2020-2021 school year was higher than the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

The consistent underperformance of the 1 LT Charles W. Whitcomb School, as evidenced by its declining statewide ranking and significant proficiency gaps, suggests that the Marlborough school district may need to implement targeted strategies to address the challenges facing this middle school and improve student achievement.
