Summary:
The Pentucket area has only one middle school, Pentucket Regional Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school has seen fluctuations in its academic performance and statewide ranking over the past few years, with proficiency rates on the MCAS assessments declining from the 2022-2023 school year to the 2023-2024 school year and the school's ranking dropping from 97th out of 497 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 189th out of 493 in 2023-2024.
Despite having a relatively high spending per student of $17,206, Pentucket Regional Middle School's academic performance is lower than the Pentucket district and the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's student population is predominantly White, with smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups, which may indicate a need to address any potential equity issues within the school.
Overall, the data suggests that Pentucket Regional Middle School is facing some challenges in maintaining its academic performance and statewide ranking. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of the school's declining performance and to identify strategies for improvement.
