Summary:

Otis, Massachusetts has exactly one school in this data set: Farmington River Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 124 students in the Farmington River Regional district; the area summary lists no middle, high, or alternative schools. Located at 555 N Main Street, Otis, MA 01253-0679, it is both the only school and the only elementary option in Otis. The district has a rank of 164 out of 351, a 53rd percentile rank, and 3 stars. The school’s student-teacher ratio is 9.3 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending is $31,204 for 2020–2021. Free/reduced lunch data for 2024–2025 is not reported, so economic context is unknown.

Farmington River Elementary showed strong overall improvement in 2025–2026. ELA rose from 41.27% in 2024–2025 to 48.21%, and math rose from 36.51% to 47.37%; both moved above state averages (40.03% ELA and 41.11% math). The school’s rank improved from 482 of 906 (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025 to 367 of 899 (59th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, a 115-place gain. Upper-elementary results were especially strong: 6th grade ELA was 61.54% vs. 40.26% state, 5th grade ELA was 53.33% vs. 38.15%, 5th grade math was 53.33% vs. 39.50%, and 4th grade ELA was 50.00% vs. 37.43%.

Science is the clearest concern: all-grades science fell from 50.00% in 2024–2025 (above the 41.51% state mark) to 33.33% in 2025–2026, below the 40.98% state average; 5th grade science was 33.33% vs. 43.07%. Third grade ELA (31.25% vs. 42.79% state) and 4th grade math (38.46% vs. 43.20%) also lagged. Because the school has only 124 students, grade-level percentages are based on small cohorts and can swing substantially. No middle or high school is listed in Otis, so older students are not represented in this data set.
