Middle Schools in Weymouth

There is only one middle school located in Weymouth, Massachusetts - the Maria Weston Chapman Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and has a relatively large student population of 1,195. While the school has a diverse student body, with 34.23% of students identifying as non-White, its academic performance as measured by MCAS test scores is generally below the Weymouth district and Massachusetts state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

The Maria Weston Chapman Middle School's MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all lower than the Weymouth district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate was 39.58%, compared to 40.13% for the Weymouth district and 39.17% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 30.12%, while the Weymouth district and state averages were 38.28% and 40.91%, respectively.

The school's academic performance has also declined over the past two years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 288 out of 501 Massachusetts middle schools in 2022-2023 to 245 out of 493 in 2023-2024. This suggests the Maria Weston Chapman Middle School is struggling to keep pace with other middle schools in the state. While the school's diverse student population could present both challenges and opportunities, the data indicates the school may need to implement strategies to improve its overall academic outcomes and better serve its students.
