Summary

Dr. Kevin M. Hurley Middle School is the only middle school in the Seekonk district, serving about 500 students in grades 6–8 at 650 Newman Avenue in Seekonk, Massachusetts, a suburban community in the Providence area. In 2025-26, it ranks 106th of 478 ranked Massachusetts schools — the 78th percentile, 4 stars — and it has never fallen below the 72nd percentile or 4 stars in a decade of reporting. The school’s rank was 119th in 2024-25 and 100th in 2023-24, showing consistent strength rather than a one-year spike.

Compared with nearby schools, Dr. Kevin M. Hurley Middle School is the clear academic leader. Its 2025-26 proficiency rates — 50.7% in ELA, 54.0% in math, and 60.0% in science — top every school in the comparison group and exceed state averages, with the largest science margin. The next-strongest nearby school, North Attleborough Middle, trails by 6.5 points in ELA, 9.5 in math, and 5.3 in science. Hurley is also the best-resourced school in the group: $17,479 per student in 2020-21 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.4 in 2024-25, the lowest ratio among the nearby schools. Its home district, Seekonk, ranks 66th percentile, higher than neighboring districts such as North Attleborough (57th) and Norton (38th).

Families should note a few watch items. All-grades ELA has declined three straight years, from 55.95% to 52.44% to 50.72%, while math has risen to 54.02% and science has been volatile. There is a sharp grade-level ELA split: 8th grade is 65.87% proficient, the highest value in this dataset, while 7th grade is 35.67%, below the state. Civics is the one subject where a nearby peer leads: North Attleborough Middle posts 63.36% versus Hurley’s 46.67%, though Hurley remains above the state. Special education is a relative soft spot (68th percentile, 3 stars in 2025-26), while low-income students are a relative strength (87th percentile, 4 stars). A widening gender gap also bears watching: female students rank 81st percentile and male students 71st, though both are 4-star.
