Summary

Millis Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Millis, MA, serving 267 students as part of the Millis district — the smallest middle school in this local comparison. It ranks 118th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools for 2025–2026 (75th percentile, 4 stars), a stronger standing than its own district (64th percentile). The long-term trend is clearly upward: the school moved from 48th percentile and 2 stars in 2015–2016 to a steady 4-star run in the 74th–80th percentile range since 2017–2018, with 2025–2026 slightly below last year's 80th percentile.

Its clearest strengths are upper-grade reading and civics. All-grades ELA proficiency is 55.67, above the state's 40.03, with 7th grade at 66.67 and 8th grade at 67.02 — roughly 26–27 points above state. Grade 8 civics stands at 63.44 versus 39.77 statewide, ahead of E W Thurston Middle (Westwood), Dr. Philip O. Coakley Middle School (Norwood), Walpole Middle School, and King Philip Middle School, though behind Thomas Blake Middle (Medfield), Dover-Sherborn Regional Middle School, and Robert H. Adams Middle School (Holliston).

The main internal gap is sixth grade: ELA there is 36.54, below the state's 40.26, and math is 43.27, only barely above state. Overall math (49.47) and science (41.49) beat state averages but trail most nearby schools, including Medway Middle and Charles E Roderick (Wrentham); science has also swung from 38.16 to 49.41 to 41.49 in recent years. Spending is $19,419 per student, on the higher end locally, while the student-teacher ratio rose to 12.1 in 2024–2025 from 9.3 the year before. Subgroup results are mixed: girls and boys are nearly even at the 75th and 76th percentile, while some groups fluctuate widely year to year — likely amplified by the small enrollment.
