Triton

Triton is a Massachusetts district with five schools serving about 2,074 students — three elementary schools (Pine Grove, Newbury Elementary, and Salisbury Elementary, all PK–6), one middle school for grades 7–8, and one high school for grades 9–12. The district ranks 111th of 351 statewide, in the 68th percentile with 3 stars, but that single rating hides wide differences among its schools.

Elementary performance is the district's strength. Pine Grove is the academic leader, ranking 139 of 899 (85th percentile, 4 stars) with all-grade proficiency of 61.23% in ELA, 62.01% in math, and 81.58% in science — far above the district's 60.14% and the state's 40.98% in science. Newbury Elementary is close behind at 161 of 899 (82nd percentile, 4 stars), with ELA 59.72%, math 58.49%, and science 71.15%. Salisbury Elementary is the most improved school, climbing from the 37th percentile and 2 stars to the 61st percentile and 3 stars, though its all-grade scores (ELA 43.59%, math 47.45%, science 56.41%) remain below district averages while exceeding state averages.

Triton Regional Middle School is steady at 3 stars and the 68th percentile; its all-grade scores look low, but at the tested 7th- and 8th-grade levels it generally matches or beats district and state — for example, 8th-grade science is 53.57% versus the state's 38.93%. Triton Regional High School has strong non-test outcomes (95.9% graduation, 2.7% dropout) but fell to 2 stars and the 49th percentile, with grade-10 proficiency below state in every subject, including science at 36.67% and biology at 33.33%. Overall: strong elementaries, a stable middle school, and a high school at a crossroads.
