of 478 Massachusetts Middle Schools

Better than 15% of Massachusetts middle schools

Summary

Ohrenberger School is a Boston Public Schools middle school serving 477 students in grades 3–8 on West Boundary Road in West Roxbury, a residential neighborhood on Boston's southwestern edge. In 2025–2026 it ranked 406th of 478 Massachusetts schools (15th percentile, 1 star), within a district ranked 299th of 351 statewide. Its all-grades MCAS proficiency rates are 24.42% in English language arts, 28.77% in math, 22.79% in science, and 14.52% in grade 8 civics — below the state in every subject and below the district in ELA, science, and civics.

Results vary sharply by grade, and that split is the most important thing for families to understand. Grades 4 and 5 are genuine bright spots: grade 4 math (54.32%), grade 5 math (44.00%), and grade 5 ELA (41.33%) all beat state proficiency rates. Grades 7 and 8 are the opposite — grade 7 ELA is 4.17% and math 5.48%, while grade 8 sits at 14.52% in ELA, math, science, and civics alike. Compared with nearby schools, Ohrenberger trails nearly all of them: Dedham Middle School, just 1.4 miles away, is about 19 points higher in ELA and 21 in math, and Charles E Brown Middle in Newton and Pollard Middle in Needham outperform it by roughly 45–51 points in each subject. The one Boston comparison school it clearly beats is Higginson-Lewis K-8 School, by about 15 points in ELA and science and 24 in math.

Two other patterns stand out. Ohrenberger spends $27,123 per student (2020–2021) — more than every nearby out-of-district school reviewed, including Dedham Middle at $21,939 — yet posts lower proficiency than all of them, so resources alone don't explain the gap. Its student–teacher ratio has also risen from 9.4 in 2022–2023 to 11.2 in 2024–2025. Finally, English language learner students are a relative strength, ranking in the 69th percentile in 2025–2026 (83rd the year before), while low-income and special education results remain near the bottom, in the 13th and 22nd percentiles. The school's best recent year was 2022–2023 (34th percentile, 2 stars); it has since slipped back.

The teachers, principal, and support staff are all wonderful at the Ohrenberger. My child is receiving an amazing education, and I am confident that the administration is thoroughly evaluating what our students do well and where there is more room for improvement. My daughter is a better person both academically and socially because she attends the Ohrenberger. Close Quote
