Summary:
Middle schools in the Masconomet area come down to a single school: Masconomet Regional Middle School in Boxford, Massachusetts, which serves grades 7–8 and enrolls 553 students as part of the Masconomet district. With only one middle school in this list, there is no side-by-side comparison to make; the useful benchmarks are the district, the state, prior years, and grade levels. The district itself ranks 90th of 351 statewide, at the 74th percentile with 4 stars.
Academically, the school scored above the state in 8 of 9 reported MCAS rows for 2025–2026. Seventh grade is the standout: 7th grade ELA reached 55.40% proficient against 39.91% statewide, a gap of +15.49 points, and 7th grade math hit 48.56% versus 37.48% statewide, +11.08 points. Eighth grade science (45.10% vs. 38.93%) and civics (42.97% vs. 39.77%) also cleared state averages. The school outperformed its own district in every reported row, though usually by less than 1.5 points, suggesting performance closely tracks the broader district. Its student-teacher ratio of 10.7 is a favorable structural measure.
The caution is the trend. The school slipped from 74th of 493 (85th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 145th of 478 (70th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. Every tested subject fell year over year — science by 17.53 points, civics by 10.58, ELA by 6.76, and math by 6.30 — mirroring district-wide declines. Eighth grade math was the only 2025–2026 result below the state (37.80% vs. 41.67%), and 8th grade trails 7th grade by 12.60 points in ELA and 10.76 in math. Free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable, and spending data ($20,953) dates to 2020–2021.
