Summary:
Florida, Massachusetts is a single-school district served entirely by one PK–8 elementary school, Abbott Memorial, which enrolls 83 students and serves grades PK through 8 even though it is classified as an elementary school. The Florida district operates no separate middle school and no high school, so families here have one school for the elementary and middle years and must look elsewhere for high school. Resources look generous for a school this size: a student-teacher ratio of 5.1 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $20,960 in 2020–2021, a figure that likely reflects the high fixed costs of running a tiny district.
On MCAS Next Generation assessments, Abbott Memorial's results are mostly below the Massachusetts average, with one clear exception. In 2024–2025, all-grade Science proficiency was 44.44% at the school versus 41.51% statewide, about 2.93 percentage points above the state. Mathematics is the most consistent weakness: all-grade Mathematics was 17.65% in 2024–2025 and 22.73% in 2025–2026, while the state sat around 40–41%, and 5th-grade Mathematics was just 7.14% in 2025–2026 against 39.50% statewide — a gap of more than 32 percentage points. English Language Arts also slipped, from 32.69% in 2024–2025 to 26.09% in 2025–2026 as the state held near 40%, and 8th-grade Civics was 20.00% versus 39.16% statewide.
The school's rank history places it in the lower portion of Massachusetts schools, with its percentile moving from 23 in 2021–2022 to 14 in 2022–2023 to 10 in 2025–2026; the district ranks 340 of 351 with 0 stars. Because enrollment is only 83 students across all grades, each tested grade holds very few children, so a rate like 7.14% may represent only a handful of students, and year-to-year swings should be read as suggestive rather than definitive. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed, and the rank history omits some years.
