Middle Schools in Tyngsborough

There is only one middle school located in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts - Tyngsborough Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and has a student enrollment of 400. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 73.25% White, 4.5% African American, 9% Hispanic, 8.75% Asian, 0.25% Native American, and 4% two or more races, its academic performance has been declining in recent years.

Tyngsborough Middle School's statewide ranking has dropped from 173rd out of 501 Massachusetts middle schools in 2020-2021 to 261st out of 501 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars over the same period. The school's proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are generally lower than the state averages, with 28.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 36.67% in Mathematics, and 48.48% in Science, compared to state averages of 42.29%, 40.6%, and 41.22%, respectively.

Despite the school's declining performance, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's per-student spending of $17,121 for the 2020-2021 school year is significantly higher than the state average, suggesting that the higher spending has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Overall, Tyngsborough parents and community members may want to closely monitor the school's progress and work with school leaders to identify and address the root causes of the school's underperformance.
