Summary:

Groton Area School District 06-6 has one middle school, Groton Area Middle School - 04, serving grades 6–8 with 132 students. The most important finding is that the school’s 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency was above the state in both ELA and math, by 8 and 8 percentage points, respectively.

Because it is the only school listed, there is no top or bottom school to compare within the district. Against state results, the school stood out in seventh-grade ELA (72% proficient versus 53%, a 19-point lead) and sixth-grade math (61% versus 42%, also 19 points). Eighth grade was the relative low point: ELA was 50% versus 52% statewide, and math was 40% versus 43%. Overall, the school was also above the state in eighth-grade science, at 48% versus 41%.

All-grade ELA and math improved year over year, and the school’s state-comparison leads grew: ELA rose 1 point and its lead widened 3 points; math rose 4 points and its lead widened 4 points. Science was an exception: the school’s result fell 8 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, though it remained above the state; its lead narrowed 5 points.
