Summary

Concord Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Concord, MA, serving 643 students in Concord, one of the state's strongest districts. In 2025–2026 it ranked 23rd of 478 Massachusetts middle schools — the 95th percentile, with 5 stars — while the district ranked 28th of 351 districts at the 92nd percentile.

Proficiency tells a similar story. On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 72.67% of students met expectations in English language arts, 73.93% in math, 77.31% in science, and 66.51% in civics — above both district and state in every subject, with margins over the state of roughly +33 points in ELA, +33 in math, +36 in science, and +27 in civics. The school has performed consistently well over time, ranking 10th in 2024–2025, 22nd in 2023–2024, 38th in 2022–2023, and 59th in 2021–2022, with a peak of 4th in 2015–2016. Math has climbed steadily, from 64.21% in 2022–2023 to 73.93% in 2025–2026, while ELA, civics, and science eased slightly from a local peak in 2024–2025.

Locally, Concord is very competitive but not the absolute top. Weston Middle, Wayland Middle School, and Raymond J Grey Junior High rank ahead of it, while it leads Ephraim Curtis Middle, John Glenn Middle, Littleton Middle School, Hale, Fowler School, Walsh Middle, and Cameron Middle School. Science is a relative strength, close to Weston and Wayland, while civics is the relative gap among top nearby peers, and 8th-grade math (68.81%) runs nearly 10 points below 6th-grade math (78.47%). Resources are favorable: its 9.6 student–teacher ratio is the lowest nearby, and $22,359 per-student spending is second only to Weston, though that figure is from 2020–2021. Most student groups, including students with disabilities, rank near the top of the state, with a few groups relatively lower but still in the top fifth.

This school had deteriorated ever since the current superintendent and principal arrived. The admin is totally incompetent and only cares about checking boxes and not about students or families or staff. The school needs new leadership ASAP. Close Quote
