Summary:
ZIP code 01569 has exactly one middle school — Whitin Intermediate in Uxbridge, MA — serving grades 4–7 with 463 students as part of the Uxbridge district. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there are no in-town peers to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the Uxbridge district and Massachusetts state averages. The record notes a student–teacher ratio of 12.8 (2024–2025) and per-student spending of $16,841 (2020–2021); free/reduced lunch data is blank, so economic context is unknown, and no district or state benchmark is provided for the ratio.
Math is the school's clearest relative strength. In 2025–2026, all-grades math proficiency was 45.15%, above both the district (44.93%) and the state (41.11%), with grade 4 math especially strong at 51.2% — 8.00 percentage points above the state. Every grade level in math was at or above the state. English Language Arts is more mixed: all-grades ELA was 38.63%, below the district (41.89%) and slightly below the state (40.03%), even though grades 4, 5, and 7 each beat the state average. The standout weak spot is grade 6 ELA at 29.57%, which is 10.69 points below the state and pulls down the overall ELA figure. Science sits close to the middle: all-grades science was 40.00%, slightly above the district (39.34%) but just under the state (40.98%), and grade 5 science (40.00%) was 3.07 points below the state.
Rank history shows a downward trend worth watching. The school was at the 75th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024, 72nd percentile with 4 stars in 2024–2025, and 58th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026 — still above the Uxbridge district's 52nd percentile and 3-star rating, but the gap has narrowed. Much of that decline tracks the shrinking math advantage: the school's math score fell from 48.89% to 45.15% while the district's rose from 42.28% to 44.93%. Overall, Whitin Intermediate offers real math strength, a mixed ELA profile, and a specific grade 6 ELA concern.
