Douglas Middle School

This site allows us to share our district curriculum, as curriculum maps. A curriculum map is a tool for organizing expectations for what students should know and be able to do in each subject each year. While we hope that you will regard these maps as valuable tools for understanding what our students are learning, they are merely outlines and do not capture the rich, multi-dimensional curricula we teach.

🎯 From WallettHub: These 10 States Have the Nation’s Best Schools: An In-Depth Look at the States With the Best School Systems (July 22, 2025 Micah Ward.)

#1 Massachusetts

Massachusetts is the state with the best school systems, boasting some of the best test scores in the country. Massachusetts ranks first in the nation in all core academic subjects this year: fourth and eighth grade math and reading scores.

Students at the high school level also do well, as Massachusetts has the highest share of students in the country who received a score of 3 or better on an AP exam. AP exams are high school classes with college-level work that are scored on a scale of 1-5.

In addition, schools in Massachusetts are generally safe. Massachusetts has the fifth-lowest share of students who report being threatened or injured with a weapon on school property, the third-lowest share who have been in a physical fight at school and the fourth-lowest share who report illegal drugs being available to them on school property.
