Summary:
The 01504 zip code is home to a single middle school, the Frederick W. Hartnett Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school's overall academic performance is below the Massachusetts state average, it stands out for its relatively strong science proficiency rates.
The Frederick W. Hartnett Middle School has been ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts middle schools for the past three school years, with a ranking of 250 out of 484 schools in 2024-2025. Its English Language Arts (ELA) and math proficiency rates are slightly below the state average, ranging from 31.45% to 45.45% in ELA and 18.7% to 52.25% in math across grade levels in 2024-2025. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 58.33% in 2024-2025 exceeds the state average, suggesting this may be a relative strength. The school's per-student spending of $15,221 in 2020-2021 is higher than the state average, and it has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6 to 1 in 2023-2024.
While the data indicates room for improvement in the school's academic performance, particularly in ELA and math, further analysis of the school's demographics, resource allocation, and teaching practices could help uncover the root causes of the performance gaps and guide targeted interventions to better serve the students and community. The Blackstone-Millville district, of which the Frederick W. Hartnett Middle School is a part, may also play a role in supporting the school's efforts to raise student achievement.
