Summary:
The two schools in the Briggs Elementary district serve 457 students across kindergarten through grade 8: Olivelands Elementary serves kindergarten–grade 4, and Briggs Elementary serves grades 5–8. In 2025–26, Olivelands was above state results in both ELA and math, while Briggs Elementary was below state results in ELA, math, and science. That is the clearest overall difference in the available results.
Olivelands Elementary stands out on its 2025–26 all-grades scores: 52% were proficient in ELA and 43% in math, respectively 2 and 5 points above the state. At Briggs Elementary, 35% were proficient in ELA, 29% in math, and 25% in science—14, 9, and 11 points below the state, respectively. These figures favor Olivelands, but the schools serve different grades, so they are not grade-matched comparisons. Grade-level results add detail: Olivelands’ grade 4 ELA result was 13 points above the state, while its grade 3 math result was 5 points below. At Briggs, ELA was 12–17 points below the state across grades 5–8; its grade 6 math result was closer, 2 points below, than its grade 5 result, 15 points below.
Both schools improved in ELA and math from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and their gaps to the state narrowed. Olivelands gained 11 points in ELA and 6 in math; Briggs gained 4 in ELA and 7 in math. The exception was Briggs science, down 5 points, with its state gap widening by 8 points. SchoolDigger rankings rose 28 percentile points for each school, to the 62nd percentile for Olivelands and the 42nd for Briggs. As context, both reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25: 62% at Olivelands and 67% at Briggs; student–teacher ratios were 21.4 and 17.6, respectively. These are descriptive differences, not explanations of test results.
