Summary:
The middle-school list for Briggs Elementary contains one school serving grades 5–8, with 221 students. In 2025–26, its all-grade proficiency was 35% in ELA, 29% in math, and 25% in science, below the state’s 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. The most important takeaway is that Briggs Elementary trails the state in all three subjects, with the largest shortfall in ELA at 14 percentage points.
There is no meaningful local top or bottom school because Briggs Elementary is the only school listed; within the school, sixth-grade math is a relative bright spot, while seventh-grade ELA has the largest reported grade-level gap. Sixth-grade math was 36% proficient, just 2 points below the state’s 37%, compared with fifth-grade math at 22%, 15 points below the state. Seventh-grade ELA was 33%, 17 points below the state’s 51%; eighth-grade ELA was 37%, 12 points below the state. Science results are reported only for grades 5 and 8: grade 8 was 30%, 6 points below the state, while grade 5 was 20%, 15 points below. Overall, math is currently closest to the state, even though ELA has the highest schoolwide proficiency rate.
Results improved in ELA and math from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but science declined: Briggs Elementary rose 4 points in ELA and 7 in math, while science fell 5 points. The science gap to the state widened by 8 points, even as the ELA and math gaps narrowed by 4 and 6 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile rose from 14 to 42 over three years, a 28-point increase, and SchoolDigger lists the school at 2 stars for 2025–26. Chronic absenteeism was 8% in 2025–26, compared with 9% in the Briggs Elementary district and 18% statewide. For context, the school’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 17.6, and 67% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Because only one school is included, these figures cannot show how it compares with local peer schools.
