Summary

Douglas Middle School is a public school in Douglas, MA serving grades 6–8 with 284 students, and it is part of the Douglas school district, which ranks 202nd of 351 districts statewide (42nd percentile, 2 stars). The school itself sits much higher: 144th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 70th percentile with 4 stars. That gap makes Douglas Middle School a clear bright spot within its own district, and the improvement has been steady — from the 39th percentile with 2 stars in 2016–2017 to 4 stars in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.

Mathematics is the school's standout strength. In 2025–2026, 51.34% of students were proficient in math, more than 10 points above the state, and grade 6 math reached 60.42% — nearly 18 points above the state average. ELA results were 45.45%, above both the state and district, though down from 52.88% the previous year; grade 7 ELA (38.89%) was the only grade-level result slightly below the state. Grade 8 science (40.26%) and civics (40.79%) were also above state and district averages, but less dominant than math.

Compared with nearby middle schools, Grafton Middle ranks higher across nearly every subject, while Douglas is roughly comparable to Miscoe Hill School and ahead of most others, including Stacy Middle, Dudley Middle School, Oxford Middle, Frederick W. Hartnett Middle School, Webster Middle School, Northbridge Middle and Whitin Intermediate. The school ranks above the state median for how well it serves low-income and special education students, though those ranks have eased recently. Its student–teacher ratio was 11.9 in 2024–2025, better than the nearby average, with per-student spending of $14,994 in 2020–2021.
