Summary

Abington Middle School is a grades 5–8 school at 201 Gliniewicz Way in Abington, MA, serving 668 students in a town south of Boston. It is the third-largest middle school in this nearby comparison group and is part of the Abington district, which ranks 195th of 351 districts statewide; the school itself ranks higher, at 194th of 478 middle schools (59th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26.

Academically, Abington Middle is a local top-three performer in English language arts and math among the 11 nearby schools, ahead of its closest neighbors, John W Rogers Middle and Whitman Middle. But it remains below the state average in all three core MCAS subjects: ELA 37.5%, math 35.7%, and science 35.6%. Science is a clear weak spot: Hanson Middle (43.0%) and Whitman Middle (39.7%) outperform Abington in science despite trailing it in ELA and math. Civics is the bright spot, with Grade 8 civics at 44.4%, above the state’s 39.8% and up from 36.7% the prior year.

The bigger concern is the trend: since 2022-23, ELA proficiency has fallen 11.4 points, science 9.8 points, and math 3.8 points, while state results were mostly flat—so the slide is largely local. The incoming 5th grade is notably behind in math (26.6% vs. 39.5% state) and ELA (31.4% vs. 38.2%). Compared with stronger nearby districts, the Braintree district’s South Middle School and Hanover Middle rank far ahead (82nd and 84th percentiles). It spends less per pupil ($14,334) than most peers and has a higher student–teacher ratio (14:1), yet it still outperforms its own district and some nearby schools. English language learners and low-income students improved in 2025-26, while special education results remain below the school’s overall level.
