Summary

Old Rochester Regional Junior High is a public middle school in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, serving 407 students in grades 7 and 8 as part of the Old Rochester district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 165th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools — the 65th percentile, with 3 stars. That is above average statewide, but below the school's earlier highs: it was in the 82nd–86th percentile from about 2016–2019 and peaked at the 78th percentile in 2023–2024 before slipping to 68th (2024–2025) and 65th (2025–2026).

English language arts is the school's clear strength, with 50% of students proficient — nearly 10 points above the state's 40.03% and above most nearby schools. Math is the weakest area at 39.07%, below the state average of 41.11%. Science (41.58%) and civics (40.49%) sit only slightly above state averages. Results have also declined over the past few years: ELA fell from 56.83% in 2022–2023, math dropped steadily from 47.71% to 39.07%, and science fell sharply from 58.01% in 2023–2024.

Compared with neighbors, Dartmouth Middle matches Old Rochester in ELA (50%) but far outperforms it in math (56.56%) and ranks higher overall. Hastings Middle posts higher math and science results despite larger classes and lower per-student spending. Nearby New Bedford middle schools — Keith Middle School, Normandin Middle School, and Roosevelt Middle School — score far lower in every subject. Old Hammondtown, the local grades 4–6 school, reports much higher proficiency, though grade spans differ. Results also vary by student group: low-income students rank in the 74th percentile statewide, while multi-racial students rank in the 17th percentile. The takeaway for families: a solid, above-average school, with math the clearest area to ask about.
