Summary

Whitman Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 496 students at 101 Corthell Avenue in Whitman, MA, a suburban town south of Boston, and it is part of the Whitman-Hanson district. Statewide, it ranks 249th of 478 middle schools in 2025-2026 — the 48th percentile, with 2 stars. Its ten-year record is steady mid-pack: it has stayed between the 41st and 67th percentile, never a top-quartile or bottom-quartile school. Class sizes are improving, with the student-teacher ratio moving from 13.8 to 12.8 to 12.4, and per-student spending was $14,298 in 2020-2021.

Academically, science is the school's strongest subject: 39.73% proficiency, essentially level with the state (40.98%) and above the state mark at grade 8. ELA (33.33%) and math (30.26%) trail the state, with math the largest gap at 10.9 points. Performance rises with grade level — 8th graders match the state in ELA and beat it in science, while 6th grade math (25.15% versus 42.59% statewide) is the single biggest gap in the data. Math proficiency sits below every nearby non-Brockton school in the comparison set.

Compared with Hanson Middle School (4.3 miles away, same district), Whitman is close but slightly behind — Hanson ranks 231st, the 52nd percentile, with 3 stars — yet that gap has narrowed from 18 percentile points in 2023-2024 to 4, with Whitman rising and Hanson slipping. Whitman also out-scores all six Brockton middle schools in every subject, even though those schools spend roughly $2,200 to $4,500 more per student. Subgroup results show no gender gap, and special education and low-income students perform near the school average. English language learners moved from the 78th to 67th to 17th percentile over three years — a sharp swing worth watching, though small group sizes can make such figures volatile.
