Summary:
Rockland has just one middle school in this data set — John W Rogers Middle at 100 Taunton Avenue, serving grades 5–8 with 687 students. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there are no peer schools to compare it against; any middle-school picture here is a picture of this one school. It belongs to the Rockland district, which ranks 217 of 351 districts statewide, at the 38th percentile with 2 stars — while the school itself has held a 3-star rating in each of the last three reported years, ranking 232 of 478 and reaching the 51st percentile in 2025–2026, above the district's overall percentile.
The clearest strength is 8th grade civics, which beat the state by more than 5 points in both reported years (+5.22 in 2024–2025 and +5.39 in 2025–2026) — the only subject where the school consistently and clearly outperforms the state. 8th grade science was also above the state, and 8th grade holds the school's highest ELA score. 6th grade math came closest to the state of any core math grade, though it still trailed. Roughly speaking, the stronger results are concentrated in the upper grades.
The weakest area is 5th grade: in 2025–2026, ELA and science were both more than 12 points below the state, and math was more than 10 points below. Across all grades, ELA, math, and science all trailed the state, and ELA fell sharply year over year, from 39.02 to 30.89, a drop of 8.13 points. Math improved by 1.54 points but remains well below state. Note that all-grade figures are not simple averages of grade-level scores, and the free/reduced lunch percentage is unavailable, so context is limited.
