Summary:

Southborough is served by a single middle school in this dataset, P Brent Trottier, which educates students in grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 404 students. It belongs to the Southborough district, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks 11th out of 351 districts statewide — the 97th percentile. Because there is only one middle school here, parents should read its results against the district, the state, and its own past performance rather than against a local peer school.

On performance, P Brent Trottier stands out. It ranked 31st of 478 schools in 2025–2026 (94th percentile), 41st of 484 the year before, and 26th of 493 in 2023–2024, earning 5 stars each year. Proficiency is far above state averages in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, all-grade ELA was 68.27 versus the state's 40.03, math was 70.74 versus 41.11, and science 74.13 versus 40.98. Eighth grade is the strongest level: ELA 79.02, civics 77.62, science 74.13, and math 73.76. Sixth- and seventh-grade ELA, the lowest results at about 62.6, were still roughly 22–23 points above the state.

Year over year, results were mixed but mostly positive: ELA fell from 73.91 to 68.27, while math rose 3.73 points, science 7.72 points, and civics 12.78 points. The school tracks close to its district — ELA nearly identical (68.27 vs. 68.25), science above (74.13 vs. 71.32), and math below (70.74 vs. 73.67). Resources look favorable, with a 9.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and $21,704 per student in 2020–2021. The free/reduced-lunch figure is not reported for 2024–2025, so socioeconomic context is unavailable.
