Summary:
Oakham, Massachusetts has just one public school in this data set: Oakham Center, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 152 students, part of the Quabbin district.
Oakham Center looks like a relative bright spot within its district. Quabbin ranks 248 of 351 Massachusetts districts — the 29th percentile with 1 star — while Oakham Center sits at the 52nd percentile of Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 and holds 3 stars in each of the last three years (58th percentile in 2023–2024, 55th in 2024–2025, 52nd in 2025–2026). Its strongest subjects are English language arts and science. In 2025–2026, ELA was 48.84% proficient, above the district's 30.97% and the state's 40.03%, and science was 55.26%, above the district's 31.85% and the state's 40.98%. Third-grade math was also a standout at 59.09%, well above the district's 31.91% and the state's 42.19%.
The main concern is mathematics, particularly in grades 4 and 5. All-grades math was 25.88% proficient in 2025–2026 — below the district's 27.45% and the state's 41.11% — down sharply from 41.33% in 2024–2025, when it edged above the state. Fourth-grade math came in at 16% and fifth-grade math at 13.16%, against state results of 43.2% and 39.5%. By contrast, fifth-grade ELA (52.63%) and fifth-grade science (55.26%) were strong. With only 152 students, grade-level percentages can swing considerably from year to year, and the free/reduced-lunch percentage is not available in this data set, so economic context cannot be assessed here. The school's per-student spending was $18,855 in 2020–2021 and its student-teacher ratio was 14.6 in 2024–2025.
