Summary

Tyngsborough Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Tyngsborough, MA, with 369 students. The school is part of the Tyngsborough school district, which is ranked 173 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Tyngsborough Middle's MCAS proficiency rates are generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (41.09%), Mathematics (41.54%), and Science (45.21%) were all lower than the state averages. However, the school performs relatively well for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top 25% and top 50% of Massachusetts middle schools, respectively, in these subgroups. Conversely, the school's performance for Asian students is a concern, as they rank in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts middle schools in both ELA and Math.

Despite the school's below-average academic performance, Tyngsborough Middle has a student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which is lower than the nearby Westford and Chelmsford middle schools, as well as the state average. Additionally, the school spends approximately $17,121 per student, which is higher than the state average and the nearby schools. This suggests that the school may have access to more resources, but these resources are not translating into higher student achievement when compared to the high-performing Stony Brook School in Westford and the Chelmsford middle schools.
