Summary

North Middle School is a public middle school located in Brockton, MA, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 406 students. The school is part of the Brockton school district, which is ranked 332 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. North Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 343-464 out of around 500 schools.

North Middle School's proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 30.13% in ELA, 23.86% in Math, and 14.69% in Science, compared to the state averages of 41.53%, 40.74%, and 41.51% respectively. The school's performance is also below the Brockton district averages, indicating that North Middle School is one of the lower-performing schools within the district. However, the school performs relatively better for African American and English Language Learner students compared to other subgroups, though it still lags behind the state averages for these subgroups.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools like South Middle School, Ashfield Middle School, and Plouffe Middle School, North Middle School's academic performance remains significantly below the state and district averages. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to explore other factors that may be contributing to the underperformance.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Friday, June 29, 2012

North Middle School offers an excellent academic experience for all students. In addition to academics, there is a wide array of after-school activities including sports, drama, and music, as well as academic support activities. Teachers are very caring, well-educated, and supportive of all students at all levels. The faculty is second to none in terms of preparedness for teaching in an inner city environment.

The administration is also highly supportive of its teaching and support staff, offering professional development and procuring the latest technology for classroom use as its budget allows. Counselors offer support to students in need, and also offer insight to staff for particularly troubled students.

Most school districts do many of the same things, but I don't know of any other school in which the entire staff including administration is as committed to seeing students grow and succeed as North Middle School; it is one of the BEST schools in Brockton! Close Quote
