Summary

Henry B. Burkland Elementary School is a grade 1–5 school in the Middleborough district in Middleborough, MA, serving 545 students and currently ranking 647th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (28th percentile, 1 star).

The 2025–2026 results are the school’s lowest in a decade, down from 55th percentile and 3 stars in 2018–2019. Proficiency is 31.07% in ELA, 26.47% in math, and 30.30% in science, with declines across every subject. The sharpest falls are in math (down 15.1 points over two years) and science (down 28.2 points). The most telling comparison is Mary K. Goode Elementary School, just 0.08 miles away, which serves the same grades and ranks 444th of 899 (51st percentile, 3 stars). That school reaches 41.27% in ELA, 39.34% in math, and 51.16% in science—23 percentile points ahead of the school. Fifth-grade math is an acute weak spot: the school’s 18.27% is less than half the state rate (39.50%) and far below that school’s 35.66%.

Resources do not appear to be the main constraint. The school spent $15,137 per student (2020–21), more than Assawompset Elementary School ($14,062) and Laliberte Elementary School ($12,959), both of which posted higher math proficiency. Its student–teacher ratio also improved to 13.5 in 2024–25. Special education students rank at the 34th percentile, above the school’s overall 28th, suggesting relative strength there. Low-income students’ ranking, however, swung from 82nd percentile (4 stars) in 2023–24 to 21st percentile in 2025–26—a change large enough to treat with caution. Compared with nearby schools such as George R Austin Intermediate School and Williams Intermediate School, the school is last in math and science among its local peer group.

Fantastic administrators set the tone with high expectations for staff and students as well. Middleboro needs to improve standardized scores, but are well on their way
in this large school with a very small town feel. Things are improving daily :) Close Quote
