Better than 94% of Massachusetts middle schools

Summary

McCall Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Winchester, MA, serving 1,036 students — the largest middle school in its nearby comparison set — and is part of the Winchester school district, which ranks 7th of 351 Massachusetts districts. In 2025–2026, McCall Middle ranked 27th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools (94th percentile, 5 stars), and it has earned 5 stars every reported year, staying between the 92nd and 98th percentile. Its 2025–2026 rank eases slightly from a 2023–2024 peak of 16th, but it remains in the top 6% of the state.

On 2025–2026 MCAS, McCall is far above state averages in every subject: 66.41% proficient in English Language Arts (+26.38 over the state), 75.89% in math (+34.78), 74.18% in science, and 74.11% in civics. Math is the signature strength, and 8th grade math at 82.20% is the school's highest grade-level result — above Ottoson Middle and Belmont Middle School. ELA is the relative soft spot, 2.45 points below the district and lowest in 6th grade at 60.45%, though still about 20 points above the state. Science and civics are strong, but Ottoson and Belmont lead in both. Against Melrose Middle, McCall is ahead by roughly +8.9 ELA, +24.5 math, +24.7 science, and +9.2 civics points, and gaps versus middle schools in Woburn and Medford are often 30–45 points in math and science.

McCall also ranks highly for how well it serves specific groups: English Language Learner students (95th percentile), male students (95th), and both special education and low-income students (94th each). Class sizes are mid-pack, with a 12.6 student/teacher ratio in 2024–2025 (up from 11.9 and 11.5 in prior years), and per-pupil spending of $15,527 in 2020–2021 is lower than most nearby districts despite stronger proficiency. Note that grade spans differ — Belmont and Ottoson serve grades 7–8, while Gibbs School serves grade 6 only — so grade-by-grade comparisons are fairest. Free/reduced lunch data was not available.

My daughter went there in 2008-2009 and it was excellent for her. They had great teachers and the personnel at McCall were excellent persons. The facilities are great and it is located just in downtown Winchester, close to the Public Library. Close Quote
