Summary:
Watertown has a single middle school in this dataset: Watertown Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 583 students at 68 Waverley Avenue, part of the Watertown district, which ranks 110th of 351 districts statewide (69th percentile, 3 stars). Because there is only one middle school here, comparisons are mainly against the district, the state, and the school's own past performance rather than against other Watertown schools.
Watertown Middle stands out for consistent above-state results. In 2025–26 it exceeded the state in every reported subject and grade, from +2.62 percentage points in 6th grade mathematics to +16.86 points in 8th grade science. Strongest areas include 8th grade science (55.79% proficient), 8th grade mathematics (55.56%), 8th grade civics (55.26%), and 7th grade mathematics (50.00%). At the grade level, the school was above the district in every 2025–26 comparison — ELA 6, 7, and 8; mathematics 6, 7, and 8; science 8; and civics 8. All-grade rows show it slightly below the district in mathematics and essentially tied in science, but grade-level figures are the cleaner comparison since the school serves only grades 6–8.
The school also shows clear upward momentum. Its rank improved from 167th of 493 (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–24 to 160th of 484 (67th percentile) in 2024–25, then to 123rd of 478 (74th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26 — a gain of 8 percentile points and a rise to 4 stars. Gains from 2024–25 to 2025–26 were sharp in civics (+10.15 points), science (+8.28), and mathematics (+5.07), while ELA was nearly flat (+0.11) but still above both district and state. For context, the student-teacher ratio is 10.8, per-student spending is $23,383 (2020–2021), and free/reduced lunch is not reported.
