Middle Schools in Rockland

The John W Rogers Middle School is the sole middle school located in Rockland, Massachusetts, serving grades 5-8. The school's performance on MCAS assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science slightly above the district average but below the state average, while Mathematics proficiency lags behind both the district and state. However, the school stands out in 8th grade Civics, where its proficiency rate exceeds the district and state averages.

The John W Rogers Middle School has a student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which is slightly lower than the state average, and its per-student spending of $17,165 for the 2020-2021 school year was higher than the state average. While the school's overall ranking of 198 out of 484 Massachusetts middle schools places it in the middle of the pack, its 3-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests there is room for improvement in certain areas, particularly in Mathematics performance.

Potential areas of focus for the John W Rogers Middle School could include analyzing the impact of its higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, as well as exploring specific instructional practices and support programs to address the school's weaker performance in Mathematics, especially in 5th grade. By leveraging its strengths in 8th grade Civics and identifying opportunities for growth, the school can work to enhance student learning and achievement across all grade levels and subject areas.
