Summary:

Gardner Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-7 in Gardner, MA, with a student population of 489. The school is part of the Gardner school district, which is ranked 314 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Gardner Middle School has a more diverse student population compared to many nearby schools, with 59.1% White, 28.22% Hispanic, and 6.34% two or more races, its academic performance consistently underperforms the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments across all grades and subjects. In 2023-2024, only 21.85% of Gardner students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 39.17%, and 23.54% were proficient in math, compared to 40.91% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts middle schools for the past several years, consistently ranking between 330-430 out of 500+ schools.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Overlook Middle School, which ranked 181 out of 493 Massachusetts middle schools in 2023-2024 and had much higher proficiency rates in ELA, math, and science, Gardner Middle School significantly underperforms. While socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, nearby schools with similar populations of economically disadvantaged students still outperform Gardner Middle School, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's outcomes.

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.
