Summary

Mountview Middle is a 6–8 middle school in Holden, MA, serving 773 students as part of the Wachusett district — it is the largest of the Wachusett middle schools and ranks 91st of 478 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026 (81st percentile, 4 stars). Its district ranks 97th of 351 statewide.

On the 2025–2026 MCAS, proficiency was 50.85% in ELA, 60.2% in math, 56.31% in science, and 61.43% in civics — above state averages in every subject and above district averages in math, science, and civics. Math is the clearest strength and is improving, with 6th-grade math at 76.28%, about 13.6 points above the district. Seventh-grade ELA is the relative soft spot at 39.55%, just below the district's 43.39%. Among nearby schools, Mountview is the top-ranked Wachusett middle school, edging out Central Tree Middle and Chocksett Middle School, and it outperforms Clinton Middle School, Leicester Middle, Sullivan Middle, Worcester East Middle, Burncoat Middle School, and Forest Grove Middle by roughly 20–45 points. The nearest higher-performing comparison is Oak Middle School in Shrewsbury, which outranks Mountview and scores higher in all four subjects; Sherwood Middle School is very close but serves grades 5–6.

On resources, Mountview reported $12,986 per-student spending in 2020–2021, the lowest in this comparison, and the highest student–teacher ratio at 14.8, up from 14.1 and 13.3 in prior years — so class size is worth monitoring. Its comparative effectiveness ranking is strongest for special education students (93rd percentile, 5 stars) and lower for low-income students (69th percentile, down from 84%). Free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable and spending figures are several years old, so resource comparisons are approximate.
