Summary

Middleborough High is a public high school serving roughly 774 students in grades 9–12 in Middleborough, a mid-sized town in southeastern Massachusetts, and it currently ranks 199th of 353 Massachusetts high schools (44th percentile, 2 stars) — noticeably better than its own Middleborough district, which sits at 28th percentile (1 star). Its rank history is mostly mid-pack: 46th percentile in 2022–2023, 47th in 2023–2024, a peak of 61st percentile (3 stars) in 2024–2025, then back down to 44th in 2025–2026.

Academics are the biggest question mark. In 2024–2025, 10th-grade MCAS proficiency was above the state in ELA (53.53% vs. 50.66%), math (48.81% vs. 44.6%), and science (52.53% vs. 45.89%). In 2025–2026, all three fell below state: ELA 39.43% vs. 45.48%, math 36.57% vs. 43.73%, and science 34.15% vs. 40.5%. Completion data also slipped, with a 2024–2025 graduation rate of 90.4% (down from 96.6%) and a dropout rate of 6.9% (up from 2.0%). Nearby, Apponequet Regional High (97.1% grad, 0.6% dropout), Bristol-Plymouth Vocational Technical (98.4%, 1.6%), East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School (98.3%, 1.7%), and Carver Middle/High School (97.8%, 1.1%) are far ahead, while Taunton High (91.4%, 7.0%) is closest to Middleborough.

Locally, Middleborough trails Apponequet, East Bridgewater, Bristol-Plymouth, and Bridgewater-Raynham Regional in math and science, but outperforms Taunton High and Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical on most measures. Resources look reasonable: per-student spending was $15,982 and the student–teacher ratio improved to 11.3, better than several larger neighbors, so outcomes rather than staffing appear to be the issue. The clearest equity concern is special education, which ranked 4th percentile statewide with 0 stars in 2025–2026 and has been low for multiple years. Low-income students fell from the 76th to the 47th percentile, while Hispanic students ranked 62nd percentile (3 stars), above the school overall.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Brighter children are basically ignored as they tend to focus on the kids who need to be brought up to speed. You actually have to verify that you read to your child 10 minutes each evening (many of us have been reading to our kids since they were born). Victim of bullying was questioned by the vice principal WITH the bully (at the same time!). No library or media room in elementary school due to funding issues and they will not allow parents to volunteer staff the library so the children have access to it. (A group of parents were willing and we were told that it is a union position and they cannot staff it with volunteers...so the kids go without.) Horrible school system, pulled my kids and pay for private school now. Close Quote
