Summary

Harold L Qualters Middle in Mansfield, MA, serves 750 students in grades 6 through 8 and is a high-performing school within a district that ranks in the 75th percentile statewide.

Qualters Middle School stands out for its exceptional academic performance and very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.6:1, which is the lowest among all comparable schools in the area. For context, nearby schools like King Philip Middle School (14.1:1) and Cyril K. Brennan Middle School (14.8:1) have significantly larger class sizes. This low ratio likely contributes to the school's strong academic outcomes, with proficiency rates of 60.44% in ELA and 56.38% in Math, far exceeding state averages. The school also excels in Civics, where 8th graders achieved a 59.27% proficiency rate, dramatically higher than the state average of 39.16% and stronger than most nearby schools, including Easton Middle School (47.24%) and North Attleborough Middle (56.29%).

While Qualters excels in most areas, there are a few notable points. The school's Science proficiency rate of 47.18% is a relative weakness, performing below its own district average and significantly lower than top-performing peers like Sharon Middle (73.36%). Additionally, the school has shown impressive improvement for its Special Education students, with their ranking jumping from the 59th percentile to the 74th percentile over two years. Overall, Qualters Middle School offers a strong return on investment, combining high academic outcomes with a strategic focus on small class sizes, making it a standout choice in the region.
