Summary

Medway Middle is a public middle school in Medway, MA, serving 677 students in grades 5–8 as part of the Medway district, which ranks 54th of 351 Massachusetts districts (85th percentile, 4 stars). The school itself ranks 82nd of 478 middle schools statewide in 2025–2026, placing it in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars — the top ~17% of the state. Its rank history is stable and improving: it sat in the 73rd–77th percentile from 2020–21 through 2022–23, rose to the 84th percentile in 2023–24 and 2024–25, and holds at 83rd percentile now.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation all-grade results, about 60% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts (60.18%), math (60.09%), and science (61.01%) — roughly 19–20 points above state averages and balanced across those three subjects. That profile places Medway in the upper-middle tier locally, fifth among nearby ranked schools. It trails Hopkinton Middle School, Dover-Sherborn Regional Middle School, Thomas Blake Middle, and Robert H. Adams Middle School, but leads Millis Middle, King Philip Middle School, Stacy Middle, and Bellingham Memorial School.

Civics is the clear weak spot: 8th grade civics proficiency is 43.98% in 2025–2026, down from 63.87% the year before and only about 4 points above the state average, while nearby high performers reach the 70s–80s. Results also vary by grade — 7th grade ELA (67.10%) is strongest, while 6th grade ELA (52.33%) and 5th grade math (53.53%) are lowest. Note that Medway serves grades 5–8, while several neighbors serve only 6–8 or 7–8. Resources are mid-pack, with a 12.5 student-teacher ratio and $17,095 per-student spending. Spending and staffing don't cleanly explain the gap with top nearby districts: Hopkinton and Holliston spend less and score higher, while Dover-Sherborn and Medfield spend more and score higher. Subgroup effectiveness ranks are mostly above the state median, ranging from the 66th to 84th percentile.
