Summary:
Mendon, Massachusetts has a single elementary school in this data set — Henry P Clough — which serves students in grades PK through 4 and enrolls 398 children. It belongs to the Mendon-Upton district, which is ranked 101 of 351 districts statewide, placing it in the 71st percentile with 4 stars. Because there is only one elementary school in Mendon here, there are no other city schools to compare it against.
Academically, the school's profile is mixed. Mathematics is its clear relative strength: in 2025–2026, All Grades Mathematics proficiency was 50.35% versus 41.11% statewide, about 9.2 points above the state, and 4th Grade Mathematics was 52.38%, also about 9.2 points above the state. Even so, the school trailed its own district in every math comparison. English Language Arts is the bigger concern. All Grades ELA was 35.92%, below both the district (47.82%) and the state (40.03%). The sharpest gap is 4th Grade ELA at 26.51%, which is 10.9 points below the state and 17.7 points below the district — while 3rd Grade ELA, at 49.15%, was about 6.4 points above the state. That grade-level split is unusual and worth asking the school about.
The school's own state rank has slipped for three straight years, from 307 of 916 (66th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 365 of 906 (60th) in 2024–2025 to 432 of 899 (52nd) in 2025–2026, holding at 3 stars each year. Meanwhile, the district remains highly ranked. For context, the school spent $17,375 per student in 2020–2021 and had a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 in 2024–2025, though no state or district averages are provided for comparison. The free/reduced lunch percentage for 2024–2025 is not available, so questions about economic need cannot be assessed from this data.
