Summary

Samoset School is a grade 6–8 middle school in Leominster, MA, serving 495 students in the local district. The district is ranked 227th of 351 Massachusetts districts (35th percentile, 2 stars). In 2025–2026, the school ranked 210th of 478 schools (56th percentile, 3 stars), its highest rank in the provided history and a steady climb from 344th of 501 (31st percentile, 2 stars) in 2020–2021.

In MCAS Next Generation results, the school’s all-grades proficiency was 40.04% in ELA, 35.87% in math, 35.67% in science, and 43.95% in 8th-grade civics. ELA is slightly above the Leominster district’s 38.20% and essentially even with the state’s 40.03%. Math is below both the district’s 38.99% and the state’s 41.11%. Science is above the district’s 35.15% but below the state’s 40.98%. Civics is above the district’s 41.69% and the state’s 39.77%. 7th-grade math, at 30.36%, is a weak spot; 8th grade is stronger, with 8th-grade ELA, math, and civics above state levels.

Compared with nearby schools, the school is roughly tied overall with Sky View Middle School, though their subject strengths differ: the school leads in ELA, science, and civics, while math is stronger there. It clearly outperforms Arthur M Longsjo Middle School, Memorial Middle School, and Clinton Middle School, but trails higher-performing nearby schools such as Overlook Middle School, Ayer Shirley Regional Middle School, Lunenburg Middle School, Chocksett Middle School, The Bromfield Middle School, and Luther Burbank Middle School. Its student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is relatively favorable. Test scores improved notably in 2025–2026, including science and civics. Some student groups show progress: low-income students rose to the 69th percentile, while English learners declined to the 42nd percentile after earlier gains; math remains the main area to watch.
