Summary

Thomas Blake Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Medfield, MA, serving 574 students as part of the Medfield district, which ranks 12th of 351 Massachusetts districts (97th percentile, 5 stars). The school itself ranked 24th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools in 2025–2026 (95th percentile, 5 stars), and it has earned a 5-star rating every reported year since 2018–2019 — its strongest recent year other than 2015–2016.

Proficiency rates are very high: 73.77% in English language arts, 70.24% in math, 77.27% in science, and 80.79% in grade-8 civics — roughly 29 to 41 percentage points above state averages. Science and civics are the standout strengths, and both are the highest among nearby schools. Science tops E W Thurston Middle (68.52%), Robert H. Adams Middle School (68.20%), Pollard Middle (67.06%), and Dover-Sherborn Regional Middle School (65.91%). ELA is essentially tied with Pollard (73.85%) and Dover-Sherborn (74.08%). Math is the relative soft spot locally — solid and far above the state's 41.11%, but behind Pollard (79.93%), High Rock School (78.71%, grade 6 only), Dover-Sherborn (75.74%), and Thurston (72.58%).

Staffing is favorable: a 10.8 student–teacher ratio is better than most nearby middle schools (only Dover-Sherborn's 9.4 is lower), and per-student spending of $19,331 is mid-to-high in the comparison group. Results for high-needs students are a clear bright spot — students from low-income families ranked 15th of 461 (97th percentile) and special education students 23rd of 436 (95th percentile) in 2025–2026, both at or above the school's overall rank. Performance is also trending up: ELA rose from 68.17% to 73.77% and math from 63.87% to 70.24% in recent years. Seventh grade is the strongest grade in ELA and math, while 6th-grade math (64.77%) is the clearest opportunity.
