Pembroke

Pembroke, MA has five schools—three elementary, one middle, and one high school—serving about 2,367 students from pre-K through grade 12 in a district ranked 136th of 351 statewide with 3 stars. Elementary enrollment is 1,324 students (55.9%), middle school is 353 (14.9%), and high school is 690 (29.2%). North Pembroke Elementary is the overall standout: 4 stars in all three recent years, 76th percentile, and 2025–26 proficiency above district and state in ELA, math, and science. Pembroke High School is strong in 10th grade science (63.22% vs. state 40.50%), math (55.75% vs. 43.73%), and ELA (51.41% vs. 45.48%), with a 96.5% graduation rate, though Biology End of Course is 31.13% and its rank slipped to 3 stars.

Among the other schools, Pembroke Community Middle School shines in 8th grade math (69.14% vs. state 41.67%) and improved civics (41.48% from 27.44%), but its ELA remains below state. Bryantville Elementary is above state in math (54.59%) and science (56.14%) but below in ELA (34.51%), with 6th grade ELA at 18.87%—the lowest single proficiency figure here. Hobomock Elementary improved from 2 to 3 stars and raised ELA from 32.73% to 40.45%, yet its math and science still trail the district; it also has the highest per-student spending ($16,584) and lowest student-teacher ratio (11.9).

Districtwide, math is the broadest strength, with every school except one above the state. ELA is more uneven, and Bryantville Elementary’s ELA decline is the biggest red flag. Rank volatility appears mainly at Hobomock Elementary and Pembroke High School. Data limits matter: free/reduced lunch is blank for all schools, spending is from 2020–21 while test scores are from 2024–25 and 2025–26, and rankings use different denominators by level, so percentiles and stars are better cross-school comparisons than raw rank.
