Somerset

Somerset, Massachusetts is a district of four schools serving about 1,620 students — three elementary schools (North Elementary, Chace Street, and South, spanning prekindergarten through grade 5) and one middle school, Somerset Middle School (grades 6-8), with no high school or alternative school included in this data. The Somerset district ranks 178 of 351 districts statewide, at the 49th percentile with 2 stars.

North Elementary is the clear standout: it is the only Somerset school above the state in every reported 2025-26 subject and grade level, with all-grade ELA at 45.77%, math at 52.24%, and science at 48.53%, and its rank percentile rose from 47 to 65 over three years. Somerset Middle School sits at the 61st percentile with 3 stars, strong in 8th-grade math (51.09%), science, and civics (45.36%), but weak in 7th grade (ELA 34.85%, math 35.35%). South is unusually split: its all-grade math of 50.82% and 3rd-grade math of 63.16% are the highest figures here, yet its all-grade ELA of 31.45% is the lowest, including 5th-grade ELA at 23.08%. Chace Street shows science strength (46.15%) but the weakest math, 35.33%, and the lowest rank at the 45th percentile.

Overall, science is the district's most consistent strength — every Somerset school beats the state science rate — while ELA is the weakest area, with only North Elementary above the state. Rank trends diverge: North improved from the 47th to the 65th percentile, while South fell from 63rd to 50th and Somerset Middle slipped from 70th to 61st. Notably, the two highest-spending schools, South and Chace Street, post the lowest ELA and math results, though this single-year snapshot does not establish cause. Free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable for all four schools.
