Summary:
Zip code 01922 has exactly one middle school, Triton Regional Middle School in Byfield, MA, serving grades 7–8 with 297 students as part of the Triton district. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP, there are no local peers to compare against, so the useful benchmarks are the district and the state. It is a 3-star school and has been remarkably consistent: it ranked 155 out of 478 Massachusetts middle schools in 2025–2026, the 68th percentile, after ranking 159 out of 484 (67th percentile) in 2024–2025 and 151 out of 493 (69th percentile) in 2023–2024.
Science is the clearest strength. In 2025–2026, all-grade science proficiency was 53.57% versus 40.98% statewide, a difference of +12.59 percentage points, and 8th-grade science was 53.57% against a state figure of 38.93%, or +14.64 points. Science also rose +8.43 points from the prior year. Eighth-grade civics rebounded from 38.10% to 44.44%, a +6.34-point gain that moved it from slightly below the state to +4.67 points above it. Math, however, slipped from 48.11% to 42.55%, a -5.56-point decline, though it stayed +1.44 points above the state. Eighth grade generally outperformed 7th grade in 2025–2026, with the largest gap in math: 47.18% vs. 37.86%, a difference of 9.32 percentage points.
Parents should read the district comparisons with care. The school trails Triton “All Grades” figures in ELA, math, and science, but those district numbers likely include grade spans beyond this middle school, such as high school. Looking at same-grade results, the school is at or above the district in most 2025–2026 tests, with only 8th-grade ELA fractionally below by 0.14 points. Two data gaps limit deeper analysis: free/reduced lunch is not reported, and the per-student spending figure of $18,413 comes from 2020–2021 and is several years older than the test results. The 9.6:1 student/teacher ratio for 2024–2025 is descriptive only, since no district or state comparator is available here.
