Summary

Wamsutta Middle School is a grades 5–8 school serving 593 students in Attleboro, Massachusetts, a city in the southeastern part of the state near the Rhode Island border, part of the Attleboro school district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 198th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools (59th percentile, 3 stars), higher than its district overall (39th percentile, 2 stars) and the top-ranked Attleboro middle school, ahead of Robert J. Coelho Middle School (55th percentile) and Cyril K. Brennan Middle School (50th percentile). It has been a stable 3-star school since about 2020–2021, with rank percentiles mostly between 51 and 63.

Academically, results are uneven by subject. Math (40.38%) and science (40.21%) are close to state averages and above the district, while 8th grade civics (48.08%) is a bright spot, well above both district and state. English language arts (ELA) is the main pressure point at 34.84%, below the district (36.96%) and the state (40.03%). Grade-level results vary sharply: 8th grade is strongest, with ELA near the state average and math, science, and civics above it, while 7th grade is weakest, with ELA and math both below district and state.

Effectiveness rankings for student groups — which measure how well the school serves different populations compared with other schools statewide, not students' own abilities — vary widely. The strongest signal is for English Language Learner students (79th percentile, 4 stars); several other groups rank at or above the median, while rankings for Asian students (15th percentile), multi-racial students (27th), and special education students (36th) are lower. On resources, Wamsutta's student-teacher ratio of 14.7 is higher than higher-performing neighbors like Harold L Qualters Middle (9.6), Charles E Roderick (10.9), and Dr. Kevin M. Hurley Middle School (11.4), and its 2020–2021 per-student spending of $14,112 also trails several of those schools. Nearby districts including Seekonk, Mansfield, North Attleborough, and Wrentham generally post higher scores, placing Wamsutta mid-pack regionally even as it leads its own district.
