Summary

Narragansett Middle is a grades 5–7 school in Baldwinville, MA, serving 366 students as part of the Narragansett district, which ranks in the 20th percentile of Massachusetts districts (1 star). The school itself ranks 322nd of 478 middle schools statewide in 2025–2026 (33rd percentile, 2 stars), placing it in the lower-middle tier. On the 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, all-grade proficiency was 31.63% in English language arts, 26.28% in math, and 34.31% in science, compared with state rates of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%.

Among nearby schools, Narragansett sits in the middle of the pack: it outperforms Gardner Middle School, Athol-Royalston Middle School, Quabbin Regional Middle School, Memorial Middle School, and Arthur M Longsjo Middle School, but trails Central Tree Middle, Lunenburg Middle School, Overlook Middle School, and Samoset School. Math is the clearest weak spot: 26.28% is below the district's own 27.42% and far below the state, and down from 37.86% in 2022–2023. ELA is more encouraging — it rose from 23.25% in 2023–2024 to 31.63% in 2025–2026, edging above the district rate. Grade 6 was the weakest grade, with 25.89% in ELA and 24.32% in math, while grade 5 came closer to state levels.

Science results (34.31%) look relatively strong, though comparisons are imperfect because the school's science score reflects grade 5, while most nearby schools report grade 8 science; even so, it remains below the state's grade 5 science rate of 43.07%. Results vary across student groups: Hispanic students rank highest among reported groups (59th percentile, 3 stars), while low-income and special education students rank lower. Per-student spending of $15,210 (2020–2021) and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4 are similar to nearby peers, suggesting resources alone do not explain the gaps. The clearest priorities are strengthening math and supporting the student groups with lower results.
