Ashfield Middle School is a public middle school in Brockton, MA, serving 517 students in grades 6-8. The school consistently outperforms the overall Brockton school district on MCAS Next Generation assessments, with higher percentages of students meeting or exceeding standards in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Ashfield Middle School's academic performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who perform better than state averages. The school has also shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past several years, moving from 421 out of 498 Massachusetts middle schools in 2018-2019 to 291 out of 484 in 2024-2025, with its star rating increasing from 1 to 2 during this period.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, March 6, 2019

Kids get harrassed by fellow students. if i could afford it i would send my children to private school. The way the kids act is a reflection of their parents and lets just say these kids are rude, use bad language, cant spell/write to grade level, and have extreme attitude. I feel like brockton in general needs an attitude adjustment and maybe be taught how to act right! Close Quote
