Summary

Stacy Middle is a grades 6–8 middle school serving 989 students in Milford, Massachusetts, part of the Milford school district. Statewide, the Milford district ranks 289th of 351 districts (18th percentile, 1 star), while Stacy itself ranks 335th of 478 ranked middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 30th percentile, with 2 stars. That places the school in the lower-performing group statewide, although slightly above its own district's percentile.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 28.26% of Stacy students reached proficiency in ELA, 22.47% in math, 26.32% in science, and 29.47% in grade 8 civics. Every subject trails the state average, and math shows the largest gap at 18.64 points. Math is also the school's clearest weakness: it is below the district average and the lowest among nearby middle schools, including Bellingham Memorial School (28.73%), Northbridge Middle (31.38%), and Hopkinton Middle School (79.51%). Science at 26.32% sits at the bottom of the local group as well, while ELA and civics are comparatively less weak but still double digits below the state.

Stacy's long-term trend had been downward: it ranked 199th of 482 (59th percentile, 3 stars) in 2015–2016 and fell to 359th of 484 in 2024–2025 before rebounding modestly this year, with scores up in all four subjects versus the prior year. Grade 8 is the strongest grade; grade 7 math (19.00%) is the weakest single result. Resources do not obviously explain the gap — Stacy has the lowest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools (11.0) and mid-level spending ($15,014 per student), yet Ashland Middle has a similar ratio (11.6) with much higher proficiency. Results also vary by student group, with special education students ranking at the 40th percentile and low-income students at the 19th.
