Summary:
ZIP code 01030 has only one public middle school, Agawam Junior High, which serves grades 7 and 8 and enrolls 527 students at 1305 Springfield Street in Feeding Hills, part of the Agawam district. Because it is the sole middle school in this ZIP code, there are no local peer schools to compare it with; the useful comparisons are against the Agawam district and Massachusetts state averages.
Test results are mixed. In 2025–2026, eighth grade science and civics both scored 33.49% proficient, tied for the school's best results and above the district averages. Overall, the school beat the district in five of six grade-level comparisons that year, with seventh grade math essentially even. All-grade scores, however, came in below both district and state in ELA, math, and science. Math is the clearest weakness: 29.62% at the all-grade level, which is 11.49 percentage points under the state. Eighth grade ELA was another gap — above the district, but 13.00 percentage points behind the state. Year over year, math and civics improved while ELA and science slipped.
The school holds a 2-star rating and ranked 273 of 478 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026, at the 43rd percentile — down slightly from the 46th percentile in 2023–2024, so the overall rating has not moved. Resources look strong: an 8.7:1 student-teacher ratio (roughly 61 teachers) and $19,287 spent per student in 2020–2021. Free and reduced lunch data is not reported. For parents, the takeaway is a school with real strengths in science and civics and generous staffing, but below-state proficiency overall and room to grow in math and eighth grade ELA.
