Summary:
The city of Middleton, Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Howe-Manning and Fuller Meadow. Based on the available data, Howe-Manning appears to be the standout school in the Middleton district, consistently ranking in the top 27.5% of Massachusetts elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 school years.
Howe-Manning's academic performance is particularly strong, with students scoring significantly above the state average in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in these subjects are all notably higher than the state averages. In contrast, while the data for Fuller Meadow is more limited, it suggests the school is also a solid performer, with a 4-star district rating and a student-teacher ratio similar to Howe-Manning.
The Middleton school district as a whole appears to be well-resourced, with per-student spending higher than the state average. This may be contributing to the strong academic outcomes observed, particularly at Howe-Manning. However, the data also indicates a lack of racial diversity in both schools, with over 84% of students identifying as white. While the schools' performance is impressive, there may be opportunities to further promote equity and inclusivity within the district.
