The 01588 zip code area has only one middle school, Northbridge Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 432 students.

Northbridge Middle School is ranked 265 out of 484 Massachusetts middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is not performing as well as many of its peers in the state. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates range from 31.25% to 31.97%, compared to the state average of 41.53% to 44.32%, and its Mathematics proficiency rates range from 23.33% to 39.29%, compared to the state average of 38.24% to 41.25%.
Without information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, it is difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance. However, the data suggests that Northbridge Middle School is facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and further investigation into the school's specific challenges and strategies for improvement would be necessary to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the situation.
