Quabbin Regional Middle School

Summary:

Quabbin Regional Middle School is a public middle school located in Barre, MA, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 517. The school is part of the Quabbin District, which is ranked 208 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Quabbin Regional Middle School performs below the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments, with proficiency rates of 33.86% in English Language Arts, 31.76% in Mathematics, and 31.4% in Science. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and students with disabilities tending to perform better than the overall average. In comparison, nearby schools like Tantasqua Regional Junior High and Mountview Middle have higher proficiency rates and overall rankings.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, which has ranged from $15,693 to $19,923 in recent years, its academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's outcomes. The school's enrollment has remained relatively stable, with a slight decrease in the percentage of white students and a slight increase in the percentage of Hispanic and multiracial students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
