Summary

Littleton Middle School in Littleton, MA, is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 with 373 students in the Littleton school district. It ranked 62nd of 478 Massachusetts middle schools in 2025–2026 — 87th percentile, 4 stars, or top 13% statewide — while the district ranked 37th of 351 districts. The school’s long-term trend is positive: it improved from 159th of 482 in 2015–2016 to 39th of 487 in 2016–2017 and has generally stayed in the top 10–15% since, aside from a dip to 79th percentile in 2021–2022 and a slight slip from 50th of 484 in 2024–2025.

On 2025–2026 MCAS tests, all-grade proficiency was 69.57% in ELA, 60.05% in math, 70.08% in science, and 56.69% in 8th-grade civics — above both district and state averages. ELA and science are clear strengths, about 29–30 points above state, and ELA ranks 4th among nearby schools, behind Raymond J Grey Junior High, Concord Middle, and The Bromfield Middle School. Math, however, is only 0.6 points above the district average and below the nearby average, ranking 7th of 11 comparable schools. Civics is about 5.4 points below the nearby average, and it fell from 69.81% to 56.69% this year, though the district also declined. Grade 7 is the strongest in ELA and math (76.32% and 65.79%), while 6th-grade math is the lowest at 55.91%.

The school has 373 students, smaller than most nearby middle schools, with a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 12.9 — tied for highest among nearby schools with data. Its reported 2020–2021 per-pupil spending of $14,891 is the lowest among nearby schools with reported data. Low-income students’ results improved from the 43rd percentile in 2022 to the 91st percentile in 2025, a strong sign of school effectiveness; special education results are an area to watch, falling from the 90th percentile in 2023 to the low 70s in 2024 and 2025. Overall, this is a high-performing, above-state school with standout ELA and science, more modest math and civics compared with top nearby schools, and relatively lean reported resources.
