SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 478 Massachusetts Middle Schools

Better than 93% of Massachusetts middle schools

Summary

The Bromfield Middle School is a public middle school serving 244 students in grades 6–8 in Harvard, MA, part of the Harvard district in a small suburban community northwest of Boston. In 2025–2026 it ranked 32nd of 478 Massachusetts middle schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars), and its district ranked 19th of 351 districts statewide (95th percentile, 5 stars).

Proficiency is well above state norms in every subject: English Language Arts 71.3%, Mathematics 67.93%, Science 75.64%, and Civics 75.64%, compared with roughly 40% statewide. Among nearby schools, only Raymond J Grey Junior High outranks it (12th statewide) and does better in math (76.88%) and science (80.54%); the two are essentially tied in civics. Bromfield leads Blanchard Middle, Littleton Middle School, Hale, Luther Burbank Middle School, and Groton Dunstable Regional Middle in most subjects. It is one of only two nearby 5-star middle schools, with a favorable 10.2:1 student-teacher ratio — second-lowest in the comparison group — and a much smaller enrollment than Raymond J Grey (244 vs. 824).

A few things to watch: 7th-grade math proficiency is 52.63%, still well above the state's 37.48% but below the school's own 6th grade (77.38%) and 8th grade (72.73%). Science proficiency has eased from an exceptional 95.18% in earlier data, and overall rank slipped from 13th to 32nd while staying in the 93rd percentile. Special education students are a standout strength, ranking in the 94th–98th percentile with 5 stars for three straight years. Free/reduced lunch percentages and per-student spending were not available, so socioeconomic and resource comparisons are limited.
