Summary

Triton Regional Middle School is a grades 7–8 school in Byfield, MA, serving 297 students as part of the Triton district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 155th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools — the 68th percentile with 3 stars — closely matching its district's standing of 111th of 351, also 68th percentile and 3 stars. The school scored above the state in every reported MCAS subject: ELA 44.01% versus 40.03%, math 42.55% versus 41.11%, science 53.57% versus 40.98%, and 8th-grade civics 44.44% versus 39.77%.

Science and civics are Triton's clearest local strengths. Its 53.57% science proficiency is above Masconomet Regional Middle School, Rupert A Nock Middle, Pentucket Regional Middle, Georgetown Middle School, Amesbury Middle, and both Haverhill middle schools, and close to Ipswich Middle School; only Miles River Middle is clearly higher. Civics follows a similar pattern. ELA and math are more mid-pack: Miles River, Ipswich, Rupert A Nock, and Masconomet outperform Triton, while Triton stays ahead of Pentucket, Georgetown, Amesbury, John G Whittier, and Dr Paul Nettle. Proctor Elementary posts higher scores but serves grades 4–6, so it is not directly comparable.

Inside the school, 8th grade is stronger than 7th: 8th-grade math is 47.18% versus the state's 41.67%, while 7th-grade math is 37.86%, only slightly above the state's 37.48%. Among student groups, students with disabilities dropped from the 75th percentile with 4 stars in 2024–2025 to the 47th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026 — a sharp one-year reversal worth asking about — and female students (72nd percentile, 4 stars) consistently outrank male students (62nd percentile, 3 stars). Resources look favorable, with a 9.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 that is lower than most nearby middle schools. The school's rank improved from the late 2010s, peaked at the 74th percentile in 2022–2023, and has since plateaued in the upper 60s — solidly above average, but not currently climbing.
