Summary:
Medway is a high-performing suburban Massachusetts district serving 2,158 students across four schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high school — covering grades PK–1, 2–4, 5–8, and 9–12, and ranked 54th of 351 districts statewide (85th percentile, 4 stars), with all four schools also earning a 4-star rating.
Comparing the schools, Medway Middle is the most consistent, holding an 83rd–84th percentile rank for three straight years with all-grade proficiency near or above 60% in ELA, math, and science — roughly 19–20 points above the state. Medway High ranks 60th of 353 (83rd percentile) and posts the district's biggest standout result: Biology End of Course at 67.72% proficient versus 37.68% statewide. Burke/Memorial Elementary School is strongest in math (61.76%, about 20.65 points above the state) but weaker in ELA (52.94%), ranking 192nd of 899 (79th percentile). John D Mc Govern Elementary serves PK–1, so it has no MCAS results by design; it enrolls 353 students and has the highest per-student spending in the group at $17,733.
Areas to watch: 8th grade Civics at Medway Middle sits at 43.98% — above the state's 39.77% but far below the school's other subjects, and down sharply from 63.87% the prior year. Burke/Memorial's ELA also slipped from 61.21%, and 10th grade Science at the high school fell from 73.53% to 64.38%. Student-teacher ratios range from 12.5 at Medway Middle to 17.6 at Burke/Memorial, and free/reduced-price lunch data is not reported for any school here, so comparisons cannot account for socioeconomic context.
