Summary:
ZIP code 01005 contains just one middle school: Quabbin Regional Middle School in Barre, Massachusetts, serving grades 6–8 with 510 students as part of the Quabbin district. Because it is the only middle school in the area, it defines middle-level performance locally, and the data describe a school facing real challenges rather than standout achievement.
The school's latest rank is 343rd of 478, placing it at the 28th percentile with 1 star, and that marks a steady decline: 47th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–24, 40th percentile in 2024–25, and 28th percentile now, a loss of 19 percentile points over two years. In 2025–26, the school is below the state in every reported grade and subject. Its strongest results are 6th grade ELA at 30.81% and 6th grade math at 27.91%, both slightly above the district but still 9.45 and 14.68 points below the state. Its weakest is 7th grade ELA at 19.21%, only 0.22 points above the district but 20.70 points below the state. The Quabbin district itself ranks 248th of 351 at the 29th percentile with 1 star, so the school's performance mirrors a low-ranked district context.
Year-over-year, ELA fell 7.05 points, science 3.32 points, and civics 11.62 points, while math slipped only 1.13 points. Civics was a relative bright spot in 2024–25 at 34.04%, just 5.12 points under the state, but dropped to 22.42% in 2025–26. With a 14.7 student-teacher ratio and $15,693 per-student spending in 2020–21, and free/reduced-price lunch data not populated, the key takeaway for families is that grade-specific results sit marginally above the district but consistently fall well short of state proficiency.
