Summary:
Mendon-Upton is a Massachusetts district serving roughly 2,072 students across four schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high school. Henry P Clough (PK–4, 398 students) and Memorial School (K–4, 493) feed into Miscoe Hill School (grades 5–8, 647), then Nipmuc Regional High (grades 9–12, 534). The district ranks 101st of 351 statewide, at the 71st percentile with 4 stars. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all four schools, so economic context is unavailable.
Memorial is the standout elementary: its rank percentile climbed 71 → 81 → 86 across three years, with 2025–2026 all-grades ELA at 59.5 and math at 66, well above the state's 40.03 and 41.11, including 4th-grade math of 71.28. Nipmuc rebounded from 57th percentile and 3 stars to 74th percentile and 4 stars, posting 10th-grade ELA 61.54, math 55.81, and science 50.41, plus a 94.4% graduation rate and 3.1% dropout rate, with the district's lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.4. Miscoe Hill is steady at the 71st percentile with 4 stars, showing all-grades ELA 47.52, math 46.49, and science 45.9; 8th-grade Civics slipped from 55.81 to 42.69 but remained above the state's 39.77.
The main concern is Henry P Clough, whose percentile fell 66 → 60 → 52 (52nd percentile, 3 stars). Its all-grades ELA of 35.92 is below both the district's 47.82 and the state's 40.03, and 4th-grade ELA is 26.51 versus the district's 44.2 and state's 37.43 — a 34.13-point gap with Memorial. Math is a district-wide strength: even Clough's 50.35 exceeds the state's 41.11. Clough also has the highest student-teacher ratio (14.2) and the highest per-student spending ($17,375, from 2020–2021), though the old spending year and missing lunch data limit firm conclusions.
