Summary

Masconomet Regional Middle School, at 20 Endicott Road in Boxford, Massachusetts, is the grade 7–8 campus of the Masconomet regional district serving Boxford, Topsfield, and Middleton, and it enrolls 553 students — roughly 275 per grade — making it one of the larger single-campus middle schools in the area. Its latest state rating is 3 stars, ranked 145th of 478 middle schools (70th percentile).

That rating caps a long slide that steepened sharply this year. From 2015–16 through 2018–19 the school sat at the 94th–95th percentile with 5 stars, and through 2024–25 it never fell below the 81st percentile. In 2025–26 it dropped 11 percentile points in one step — more than the prior four years of decline combined — earning its first 3-star rating in the ten years shown. Proficiency is still above the state, but the margin has nearly evaporated: ELA 49.35, math 43.42, science 45.10, and 8th-grade civics 42.97, against state figures of 40.03, 41.11, 40.98, and 39.77. Three years ago the school ran 17–25 points above the state in core subjects; its math edge is now +2.3 points, and science fell 17.5 points in a single year.

Among nearby schools, Masconomet ranks sixth of eleven in ELA and seventh in math and science — behind North Reading Middle School, Doherty Middle, and Miles River Middle, and ahead of Beverly Middle School, Holten Richmond Middle School, and J Henry Higgins Middle. Its 7th grade is comfortably above state in both ELA and math, but its 8th grade ranks seventh of ten peers in every subject and now falls below state in math. It has the second-highest per-pupil spending in the peer group ($20,953) with results near the bottom of it. Special education students (75th percentile) perform well; low-SES students rank 35th percentile with 2 stars, and that group's size can't be verified because free/reduced-price lunch data is suppressed.
