Middle Schools in Worcester

The middle schools in Worcester, Massachusetts serve students in grades 6-8 and include Forest Grove Middle, Sullivan Middle, Worcester East Middle, and Burncoat Middle School. The data reveals significant differences in academic performance among these schools, with Sullivan Middle and Burncoat Middle School standing out as the top performers.

Sullivan Middle outperforms the Worcester district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels, with particularly strong performance in 6th grade. Burncoat Middle School also outperforms the district and state in ELA and Math proficiency, especially in 7th and 8th grades. These two schools stand out as the top performers among the middle schools in the area.

The data also reveals variations in student racial makeup and spending per student across the four middle schools, but these factors do not appear to be directly correlated with the observed differences in academic performance. Further analysis would be needed to understand the potential relationship between school-level factors and student outcomes within the Worcester middle school system.
