Summary

Samoset School is a public middle school located in Leominster, MA, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 468 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation assessments, is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby schools like Sky View Middle School and Chocksett Middle School.

Samoset School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school performs particularly well for African American students, ranking in the top 34-45 middle schools in the state for this subgroup over the past few years. However, the school struggles with Hispanic, White, and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of middle schools in the state. The school's per-student spending has remained relatively stable, and the student-teacher ratio has decreased, indicating an increase in the number of teachers relative to the student population.

Samoset School's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 192 out of 441 middle schools in 2014-2015 to 260 out of 484 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school's performance has not kept pace with improvements in other middle schools across the state. Addressing these challenges and disparities should be a priority for the school as it works to improve student outcomes across all grade levels and subgroups.
