Understanding the 7/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Pembroke School District 7 out of 10 — above average among Massachusetts public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Massachusetts’ MCAS grades 3–8 assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Massachusetts is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Pembroke School District earns an above-average rating, with reading and math proficiency rates stronger than most other districts in Massachusetts. Above-average districts generally show solid and consistent academic results across their schools. Families considering this area will find a district with meaningful academic strengths. Research the specific schools assigned to your address — even above-average districts have variation between individual buildings.
