Middle Schools in Attleboro

The Attleboro area in Massachusetts is home to three middle schools serving grades 5-8: Cyril K. Brennan Middle School, Wamsutta Middle School, and Robert J. Coelho Middle School. Based on the available data, Robert J. Coelho Middle School appears to be the standout performer among the three, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and outperforming the other schools on academic assessments.

Robert J. Coelho Middle School placed 192nd out of 493 Massachusetts middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year rankings. It also outperformed the other two Attleboro middle schools and the district average on MCAS Next Generation assessments, with 50.09% of its students proficient or better in Mathematics and 52.16% proficient or better in Science, compared to lower rates at the other schools. This suggests Robert J. Coelho Middle School has a more effective educational program that is helping students achieve stronger academic outcomes.

While the three Attleboro middle schools have similar racial demographics, with the majority of students being White, the Attleboro district as a whole appears to underperform compared to state averages on the MCAS assessments. This indicates there may be room for improvement in providing high-quality, equitable education to all students in the district. Further analysis of factors like free/reduced lunch rates, special education services, and other indicators could provide more insight into the equity of educational opportunities across the Attleboro middle schools.
