Summary

North Middle School is a grades 6–8 school at 108 Oak Street in Brockton, MA, serving 427 students. It is the highest-ranked middle school in the district and has climbed from near the bottom of the state to 305th of 478 middle schools (36th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, while the district itself ranks 329th of 351 (6th percentile, 0 stars).

The school outperforms its district in every tested subject: ELA 28.95% proficient vs. 20.08%, math 31.43% vs. 19.05%, science 21.67% vs. 17.61%, and 8th-grade civics 25.83% vs. 15.00%. But it still trails the state, especially in science. Among the district’s other middle schools, it and Ashfield Middle School are clearly ahead of East Middle School, West Middle School, South Middle School, and Plouffe Middle School. Compared with nearby districts, its ELA and math are competitive with O’Donnell Middle School, Whitman Middle, and Howard School, while Easton Middle School and Abington Middle School produce higher overall proficiency at lower per-pupil spending. The school spends $18,835 per student, the most in this comparison.

Its biggest strengths are in specific groups and grades. English learners, low-income students, and students with disabilities rank above the school’s overall position, and 8th-grade math is 44.8% proficient—the only subject-grade result that beats the state and the best among the district’s middle schools. The clearest challenges are 6th-grade ELA (15.79%, below the district), science at every level, and a wide gap between 8th-grade math and science. The long-term trend is positive: math, science, and civics are rising, and the school’s two best years are the two most recent.

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
