Summary

Lunenburg Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Lunenburg, MA, part of the Lunenburg School District. With 363 students, the school consistently performs above the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments, ranking in the top 30% of Massachusetts middle schools for the past 5 years.

Lunenburg Middle School excels in serving certain student subgroups, ranking 76th out of 376 Massachusetts middle schools for Hispanic students in ELA and 100th out of 464 for low-socioeconomic status students in Math. However, the school still faces some challenges, with performance gaps between student groups, such as ranking 157th out of 473 for male students in ELA compared to 102nd for female students. The school's spending per student of $15,285 in 2020-2021 is higher than some nearby schools like Samoset School ($13,011) and Memorial Middle School ($15,529).

While Lunenburg Middle School's academic performance is strong overall, with 50.81% of students proficient or better in ELA, 46.9% in Math, and 47.83% in Science, it faces some challenges in maintaining its high ranking, which has declined slightly from 131st in 2018-2019 to 152nd in 2020-2021, though it rebounded to 123rd in 2024-2025. Continued focus on improving outcomes for all students will be important for the school's future success.
