of 906 Massachusetts Elementary Schools

Better than 9% of Massachusetts elementary schools

Summary

Quinsigamond is an elementary school located in Worcester, MA that serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 715 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 775-914 out of around 930-940 schools.

Quinsigamond significantly underperforms the Worcester district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS proficiency rates across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 16.28% of Quinsigamond students were proficient or better in ELA compared to 25.85% in Worcester and 41.53% statewide. The math proficiency rate was 16.07% at Quinsigamond compared to 23.59% in Worcester and 40.74% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with White students, English Learners, and Special Education students performing particularly poorly.

Interestingly, several nearby elementary schools in the Worcester district, such as Grafton Street, Goddard School/Science Technical, and Jacob Hiatt Magnet, outperform Quinsigamond on academic measures. Additionally, the Worcester Cultural Academy Charter Public School, located about 1.7 miles from Quinsigamond, also performs poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% of Massachusetts elementary schools, suggesting that the challenges facing Quinsigamond may not be unique to the traditional public school system.
