Academic Performance & Context
East Bridgewater’s four-year graduation rate was 96.0%. MCAS results, graduation rates and accountability data are published and updated each year by DESE. Because these change annually, this guide links to the live state profile rather than reprinting numbers that quickly go stale.
The Buildings Themselves
The district runs three schools: Central School, the Gordon W. Mitchell School, and East Bridgewater Junior Senior High School. A new Central Elementary School is being built at 107 Central Street, funded in part by the Massachusetts School Building Authority and in part by borrowing the town approved at a special election on November 15, 2025. The School Building Committee meets in public and posts its documents as it goes.
