Summary:
Boxborough, Massachusetts is served by a single public school: Blanchard Memorial School, a K–6 elementary school with 469 students at 493 Massachusetts Avenue. It belongs to the Acton-Boxborough district, which ranks 44 of 351 districts statewide — the 87th percentile, or 4 stars. The area has 1 elementary school, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools, and 0 alternative schools, so all town-level information here comes from this one school. Its student–teacher ratio is 11.8.
Blanchard Memorial School has ranked in the top 10–11% of Massachusetts schools for three straight years: 85 of 916 (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024, 102 of 906 (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025, and 90 of 899 (90th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026 — a stable percentile near 90. Mathematics is its standout subject: all grades scored 71.59% proficient, 30.48 points above the state and 3.77 points above the district, with every tested grade ahead of both. The highest single result is 6th-grade math at 80.60, which is 38.01 points above the state. ELA is 61.85%, which is 21.82 points above the state but 2.03 points below the district; within ELA, 6th grade sits at 56.06, or 13.60 points below its own district. Science is best read through 5th grade, where the school scores 66.25 against the district's 65.69 — essentially even.
Year over year, math rose 5.04 points and science rose 3.35 points, while ELA fell 3.29 points; the district's math declined 0.94 over the same period, making the school's math gain notable. Two context gaps matter for parents: a free/reduced-lunch percentage is not provided in the data, and the per-student spending figure of $17,925 is from 2020–2021, so it reflects historical rather than current resources. Taken together, the available data points to a consistently high-performing elementary school with particularly strong mathematics and a relative ELA challenge in 6th grade.
