Summary

Pembroke Community Middle School is a public middle school serving 360 students in grades 7-8 in Pembroke, MA, which is part of the Pembroke school district. The school has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Massachusetts middle schools over the past 10 years, with a strong performance in mathematics that exceeds the state average.

Pembroke Community Middle School's academic performance is generally higher than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, where 55.98% of students were proficient or better on the MCAS Next Generation assessment in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 40.74%. However, the school's performance is relatively weaker in English Language Arts (around 45% proficiency) and Science (around 30-40% proficiency). Compared to nearby schools, Pembroke performs better than Bridgewater Middle School and Abington Middle School, but lags behind higher-performing schools in the area, such as Norwell Middle School and Duxbury Middle School.

While Pembroke Community Middle School has a relatively high per-student spending of around $15,000-$16,000 and a favorable student-teacher ratio, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as disabled students and low socioeconomic status students, is an area of concern and may require targeted interventions and support. The school has seen a slight decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, suggesting potential areas for improvement and collaboration with neighboring districts, such as the nearby Silver Lake Regional Middle School.
