Middle Schools in Webster

Webster has only one middle school in this data: Webster Middle School, serving grades 5–8 with 566 students at 75 Poland Street, Webster, MA 01570. Because it is the only middle school in the Webster district, there are no local middle-school peers to compare it against — everything below describes this single school in the context of the district and the state.

Academically, Webster Middle School performs well below Massachusetts averages in every subject and grade shown. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 14.57% in ELA, 14.6% in Math, and 18.8% in Science, while state averages were around 40%. That puts the school about 25 points below the state in ELA, 27 points below in Math, and 22 points below in Science. Science is the relative bright spot: it improved from 14.75% to 18.8% year over year and slightly exceeds the district. Fifth grade Science, at 24%, is the highest single score in the dataset, though still about 19 points below the state. Grade 8 is the weakest band, with ELA at 10.32%, Math at 12.6%, Science at 13.6%, and Civics at 11.9%; eighth grade ELA is the lowest result and the largest state gap. Fifth grade generally outperforms the upper grades, but remains far below state averages.

Year-over-year results were mixed: Science rose, but ELA fell from 15.69% to 14.57%, Math dropped from 17.49% to 14.6%, and eighth grade Civics declined from 15.28% to 11.9%. The school's standing has also slipped — its percentile rank fell from 20 to 15 to 9 across 2023–2024 through 2025–2026, and its rating dropped from 1 star to 0 stars. The Webster district itself ranks 342 of 351 districts statewide (3rd percentile, 0 stars). For parents, the takeaway is that the school typically matches or slightly exceeds its own district, but the district as a whole — and this school — are far below Massachusetts norms, with the clearest strengths in Science and the biggest concerns in grade 8 and core ELA/Math.
