Summary

Point Webster Middle is a grade 5–8 middle school in Quincy, Massachusetts, serving 377 students as part of Quincy Public Schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 288th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools — the 40th percentile, or 2 stars — and its rank has slipped steadily, from the 63rd percentile in 2017–18 and 59th in 2021–22 down to 40th today.

Its biggest academic weakness is math: 27.78% of students met expectations on the all-grade MCAS, versus 43.03% in the district and 41.11% statewide. ELA (36.46%), science (36.02%), and 8th-grade civics (39.33%) are also below district and state, though civics is close to the state figure. There is a sharp split by grade: 5th-grade ELA and science are at or above state levels, while 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-grade math (21.84%, 25.58%, and 23.60%) and 8th-grade science (26.14%) fall far below. Because many nearby schools serve only grades 6–8, Point Webster's all-grade numbers may actually be lifted by its 5th grade.

Compared with neighbors, Point Webster sits near Broad Meadows Middle and South West Middle, well behind Central Middle and Atlantic Middle, and well ahead of Randolph Community Middle. It is mixed against Maria Weston Chapman Middle School — lower in ELA and math, higher in science and civics — and trails Hingham Middle School, Charles S Pierce Middle, South Middle School, and East Middle School. Class sizes (11.6 students per teacher) are smaller than at Central and Atlantic, and per-student spending ($15,613 in 2020–21) is midrange, so resources alone do not explain the gaps. One bright spot: English Language Learner and Special Education students ranked relatively well statewide in 2025–26, though subgroup results have swung widely from year to year.
