Summary:
Zip code 01913 has just one middle school: Amesbury Middle, part of the Amesbury district. It serves grades 6 through 8 with 364 students at 220 Main Street in Amesbury, MA. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP, there is no local comparison to make — everything below describes this single school. Its student-teacher ratio is 9.1 (2024–2025), and per-student spending was $17,999 (2020–2021, an older figure to interpret cautiously). Free/reduced-lunch information is blank in the data and should not be read as zero.
The clearest strength is seventh grade. In 2025–2026, 7th grade ELA proficiency was 50.00% versus the state's 39.91%, and 7th grade Mathematics was 45.83% versus 37.48% — both about 8 to 10 points above state and above the district. The weak spots are 8th grade Mathematics at 26.98% (state 41.67%, about 14.7 points below), 6th grade ELA at 27.78% (state 40.26%), and 8th grade ELA at 31.78% (state 41.70%). Across all grades, the school trailed the state in ELA (35.33% vs. 40.03%), Mathematics (34.77% vs. 41.11%), Science (31.97% vs. 40.98%), and 8th grade Civics (31.45% vs. 39.77%).
Year over year, Mathematics was the only all-grade subject to improve, rising from 32.49% to 34.77% while still remaining below state. ELA fell from 40.79% to 35.33%, Science dropped sharply from 43.75% to 31.97%, and Civics declined from 45.67% to 31.45% — the Civics drop closely mirrored the district, while the Science drop was steeper than district or state changes. The school's rank slipped from 3 stars (2024–2025, 58th percentile) to 2 stars (2025–2026, 49th percentile). In short, there are real pockets of success in 7th grade, but overall results sit below state averages.
