Summary:
ZIP code 02368 (Randolph, Massachusetts) contains exactly one public middle school: Randolph Community Middle, a grades 6–8 school at 225 High Street serving about 640 students, and it is the only middle-school option in the area, operating within the Randolph district.
On the 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 21.62% of students met expectations in English language arts and 22.63% in mathematics, against statewide rates of about 40% — roughly 18 points behind the state. The weakest results are science at 16.37% and 8th-grade civics at 15.11%, both about 24–25 points below state levels, meaning roughly four out of five students are below proficient in every measured subject. The brightest spot is 6th-grade math at 27.94%, the highest proficiency figure in the data set and the smallest gap to the state (14.65 points). Eighth grade is consistently the weakest grade: ELA is 21.70 points behind the state, math 21.76, science 24.56, and civics 24.66. Compared with its own district, the school comes out ahead in 8 of 10 reported comparisons — but that district itself sits at the 8th percentile statewide with 0 stars.
The school is improving where it counts most: ELA proficiency rose 2.62 points while the state average fell 1.50, and math improved even as the district lost ground. Even so, its statewide standing held flat — 390th of 478 middle schools, the 18th percentile, 1 star — down from the 36th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024. Resources look adequate rather than scarce: per-student spending of $17,958 and 11.4 students per teacher. Free/reduced-lunch status is not reported, so the share of students from lower-income households is unknown. The bottom line for families: this is a bottom-quintile school by state standards that is genuinely gaining in ELA and math, but not yet fast enough to move up among its peers.
