Summary:

Raynham Middle School is a public middle school serving 725 students in grades 5-8 in Raynham, MA, which is part of the Bridgewater-Raynham school district. While the school has a higher percentage of white and African American students compared to state and district averages, its academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates and statewide rankings, has declined in recent years and lags behind several nearby middle schools.

Raynham Middle School's MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state and district averages across all grades. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 122 out of 484 middle schools in 2017-2018 to 222 out of 493 in 2023-2024, with its star rating declining from 4 to 3 stars.

Additionally, male students and students with low socioeconomic status also underperform compared to their peers at Raynham Middle School. Addressing these achievement gaps and improving the overall academic performance of the school should be a priority for the school and district.

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.

Open Quote As a former student, I can say without a doubt that the school's administration was awful. The same goes for some of the teachers, the learning environment was very poor and classrooms were often illy prepared for the class size. Teachers had a difficult time controlling rowdy students and the administration gave unconventional and stupid punishments. Close Quote

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.
