Summary

P Brent Trottier is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 in Southborough, MA, with about 404 students, part of the Southborough district, which ranks 11th of 351 Massachusetts districts statewide. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 31st of 478 middle schools — the 94th percentile — and it has earned five stars every year from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026, with percentile ranks between 91 and 96. This is a long-running, stable high performer rather than a one-year standout.

Proficiency rates sit far above state averages in every subject. All-grade MCAS Next Generation results were 68.27% in English language arts, 70.74% in math, 74.13% in science, and 77.62% in 8th-grade civics, compared with state averages near 40%. Science is the clearest strength: 74.13% tops the nearby schools shown, including Hopkinton Middle School (73.16%) and Sarah W Gibbons Middle (67.86%). Civics (77.62%) is essentially tied with Hopkinton (77.96%) and well above Ashland Middle (62.72%) and Robert E. Melican Middle School (62.58%). ELA and math are strong but slightly behind Hopkinton and Sarah W Gibbons. Eighth grade is the standout grade level, with ELA at 79.02%, roughly 16 points above grades 6 and 7.

Math is the main internal opportunity: 70.74% trails the district average of 73.67% and Hopkinton's 79.51%. Special Education students (89th percentile) and low-income students (86th percentile) rank well statewide. The student-teacher ratio was 9.8 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $21,704 in 2020–2021. Comparisons need caveats: Mill Pond School serves grades 4–6, David J. Quinn Middle School serves grades 5–7, and Sarah W Gibbons serves grades 7–8, while civics is tested only in 8th grade.
