Summary:
The Mendon-Upton district in Massachusetts contains just one middle school, Miscoe Hill School, located at 148 North Avenue in Mendon and serving grades 5–8 with 647 students, so this summary is a deep dive on that single school rather than a comparison among schools in the area.
Miscoe Hill School performs consistently above the state average. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 47.52% in ELA (7.49 points above the state), 46.49% in math (5.38 points above), and 45.90% in science (4.92 points above), with 8th-grade civics at 42.69%, or 2.92 points above the state. The strongest grade-level results were 7th-grade ELA at 52.35% and 6th-grade math at 50.00%, both above the district and well above the state; even the school's lowest math grade, 7th at 42.44%, exceeded the state's 37.48%. The district is rated 4 stars and ranked 101 of 351 districts, at the 71st percentile, and the school has held a 4-star rating in each of the last three years. Its rank was 124 of 484 (74th percentile) in 2024–2025 and 138 of 478 (71st percentile) in 2025–2026, still close to its 2023–2024 mark of 72nd percentile.
The main relative weakness is math: at 46.49%, all-grade math proficiency trails the district's 50.63% by 4.14 points, though that gap narrowed from 5.77 points the prior year, and school math rose 2.36 points year over year. Science and civics both fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 — science by 4.27 points and civics by 13.12 points — but the district declined similarly in both subjects, and civics reflects different 8th-grade cohorts, not the same students. Context is limited: the free/reduced lunch figure is blank, the per-student spending of $16,464 dates to 2020–2021, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.1 in 2024–2025.
