Summary

Dorothy L Beckwith is a grades 5–8 middle school in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, serving 479 students as the larger of two middle schools in the Dighton-Rehoboth district. It ranks 196th of 478 middle schools statewide — the 59th percentile, 3 stars — and has held 3 stars in every reported year since 2016–17, sitting well above its own district's 45th-percentile, 2-star standing.

Beckwith's clearest strengths are Science and Civics. Science is the only core subject where the school beats the state, and it has done so four years running. Civics, at 50.9% proficient in grade 8, is 11 points above the state and second only to Berkley Middle School among nearby schools. Grade 8 is at or above the state in all four subjects, and the school's 12.5 student-to-teacher ratio is the third-lowest among its comparison group — better than Dighton Middle School and every Attleboro and Taunton school reviewed. Even so, Beckwith ranks 6th of 11 locally on overall percentile, roughly tied with Wamsutta Middle School, and well behind Dr. Kevin M. Hurley Middle School in Seekonk, just four miles away.

The friction points are concentrated at the entry and middle grades. Grade 5 ELA (28.9) and Grade 7 Math (27.1) each run roughly 9–10 points below state, and Grade 7 Math trails its same-district sibling by about 19 points — a striking gap given shared curriculum and central supports. Science slipped 9 points from 2024–25, though the school's overall percentile rank barely moved (60 to 59), suggesting the whole field shifted rather than Beckwith alone. Students with disabilities have improved three years running and now rank above the school's overall standing, while results for low-income students have swung widely across the few reported years. The student-to-teacher ratio has also climbed from 10.4 to 12.5 in two years.
