Summary

Midland Street is an elementary school in Worcester, MA, serving 238 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Worcester school district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midland Street consistently outperforms the Worcester district average in MCAS Next Generation assessments, with 35.88% of its students proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to 25.85% for the district. The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th grade ELA, where 58.06% of students were proficient or better, compared to 23.58% for the district. In mathematics, 28.24% of Midland Street students were proficient or better, compared to 23.59% for the district. However, the school's Hispanic and Special Education students lag behind, ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools in these subgroups.

Midland Street spends more per student ($15,569 in 2020-2021) compared to the district average, which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance. The school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 11.1 to 16.3 students per teacher. While Midland Street's consistent outperformance of the Worcester district is a notable strength, the uneven performance across student subgroups and the school's declining statewide ranking, from 191 out of 942 in 2018-2019 to 605 out of 906 in 2024-2025, suggest areas for continued focus and improvement.
