Summary

Rumney Marsh Academy is a public middle school in Revere, MA, serving grades 6–8 with 587 students in a city just north of Boston. It is part of the Revere district, which ranks 295th of 351 statewide. In 2025–26, Rumney Marsh ranked 318th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools (33rd percentile, 2 stars) — a rebound from 1-star ratings in 2023–24 and 2024–25, but still below its 2015–16 peak of 60th percentile and 3 stars.

Against the state, the school is below average in every subject: ELA 28.4% proficient (above the district's 24.17% but below the state's 40.03%), math 26.32%, science 22.62%, and civics 36.9%. Civics is the bright spot, above the district and only 2.87 points below the state. Math showed the biggest recent gain, rising from 17.5% to 26.32%, nearly closing the district gap but remaining 14.79 points below the state; science has been flat for three years. Eighth grade is the strongest cohort in ELA and math, while seventh-grade math (20.79%) is the weakest, though still above the district's seventh-grade average.

Among nearby schools, Rumney is second among Revere middle schools, behind Garfield Middle School but ahead of Susan B. Anthony Middle School. It outperforms Clark Avenue School, Eugene Wright Science and Technology Academy, Joseph A. Browne School and Breed Middle School, but trails Saugus Middle School, John J. McGlynn Middle School, Winthrop Middle School and Melrose Middle. Rumney beats Susan B. Anthony despite that school's smaller classes and higher spending, yet Melrose and Winthrop achieve much higher scores with similar or lower spending — so resources alone don't explain results. Subgroup results vary widely: low-income and English learner students rank near or above the state median, while special education students remain a persistent weakness near the 12th percentile.
