Summary:
The 02302 zip code in Massachusetts is home to three middle schools: Plouffe Middle School, Ashfield Middle School, and East Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Brockton school district, which is ranked 332 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts.
Based on the data, Ashfield Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the group, consistently outpacing the other two schools and the district/state averages on MCAS test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Ashfield had 34.67% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 20.81% for the Brockton district and 41.53% for the state. Ashfield also had the highest math proficiency rates, with 30.12% of students proficient or better compared to 18.56% for Brockton and 40.74% for Massachusetts.
In contrast, East Middle School appears to be the weakest performer of the three, with test scores well below the district and state levels across the board. For example, in 2024-2025 only 5.93% of East Middle School students were proficient or better in science, compared to 18.09% for Brockton and 41.51% for Massachusetts. The performance differences between the schools suggest that factors beyond just funding, which is relatively high across all three schools, may be driving the disparities in academic outcomes.
