Summary:
Wilmington, Massachusetts is served by a single middle school: Wilmington Middle School, which enrolls 782 students in grades 6 through 8 — roughly 260 per grade. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there is no cross-school comparison to make; the meaningful benchmarks are the Wilmington district, the state of Massachusetts, and the school's own prior-year performance.
The school's strongest results come in civics and mathematics. Eighth-grade civics proficiency was 53.26%, compared with 39.77% statewide — a 13.5-point advantage and the widest margin over the state in the dataset. Mathematics is strong in every grade: 50.66% in 6th, 47.14% in 7th, and 54.58% in 8th, all well above state figures. English language arts is also above the state (+5.6 points overall), though by a narrower margin. The school holds a consistent 4-star rating and has never ranked below the 73rd percentile.
Two cautions are worth noting. First, every subject declined from 2024–25 to 2025–26 — science most sharply, at −7.3 points, while the state was roughly flat. Second, 7th-grade ELA (40.95%) sits only about 1 point above the state (39.91%), the weakest cell in the profile and part of a middle-grade ELA dip. Context metrics look favorable: a 9.5-to-1 student–teacher ratio, and per-student spending of $20,842 (2020–2021, directional only). The free/reduced-lunch rate is suppressed rather than zero, and no subgroup data is available, so equity questions cannot be answered.
