Summary

John W Rogers Middle is a grades 5–8 school in Rockland, MA serving 687 students — the largest middle school in its immediate peer cluster other than Hanover and Hingham — located about two miles from the Abington Middle School and Hanover Middle campuses. For 2025–2026 it ranked 232nd of 478 Massachusetts middle schools (51st percentile, 3 stars), while the Rockland district ranks 217th of 351 (38th percentile), so the school is currently performing above its own district's standing.

That standing reflects a decade of real improvement followed by a recent dip. Rogers sat in the bottom third at 34th percentile with 2 stars in 2015-16, climbed into the mid-50s by 2021-22, and peaked at 59th percentile in 2024-25 before giving back 8 percentile points this year. The surrounding area is sharply stratified: within roughly six miles, Hingham Middle School (95th percentile), Norwell Middle School (92nd), Hanover Middle (84th), and South Middle School in Braintree (82nd) post much higher proficiency, while the Brockton district's Plouffe Middle School, East Middle School, and Ashfield Middle School rank 12th, 18th, and 37th. Rogers lands in the middle band alongside Abington Middle School (59th), Hanson Middle School (52nd), and Whitman Middle (48th).

The school's clearest strengths are in its upper grades. Eighth-grade Civics proficiency is 45.2%, above the state's 39.8% and essentially level with Abington despite Abington's higher overall rank; 8th-grade Science (40.0%) is also above the state. The clearest weakness is 5th grade, where ELA sits 12.7 points below the state and Science 12.3 points below. Overall ELA dropped 8.1 points in 2025-26 — roughly five times the state's own movement — while math actually improved 1.5 points and remains the steadiest subject. Notably, Rogers spends $17,165 per student, more than Hingham and Norwell and far more than Hanover ($14,134), the lowest spender in the comparison set, which outperforms Rogers in ELA by about 25 points.
