Summary:
Oxford, Massachusetts has four public schools — two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — serving 1,458 students in grades K–12, with no alternative school in this data. The district context is identical across every record: the Oxford district ranks 263rd of 351 statewide, at the 25th percentile, with 1 star, placing it below the Massachusetts average overall.
Clara Barton (grades 3–5) is the clearest academic standout, ranking 516th of 899 schools at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars — the highest current percentile in the city — after improving from the 32nd to the 38th to the 43rd percentile over three years. It beats the district in all-grade ELA (36.81%), mathematics (36.36%), and science (41.67%), and is the only Oxford school above the state in an all-grade tested subject: science, 41.67% versus the state's 40.98%. Oxford High (grades 9–12) shows the biggest one-year jump, rising from the 17th to the 32nd percentile, with 10th-grade math up 12.40 points to 32.18%. It also reports a 97.1% graduation rate against the district's 95.2% and a 2.0% dropout rate against 2.9%, though its MCAS proficiency stays below state levels in every reported high-school subject.
Oxford Middle (grades 6–8) is remarkably stable — 2 stars at roughly the 35th–36th percentile for three straight years — but trails the district in all-grade ELA (31.10% vs 33.23%), mathematics (24.77% vs 29.86%), and science (25.00% vs 32.35%), with math sliding from 37.25% in 6th grade to 16.00% in 8th. Alfred M Chaffee (K–2) has no current MCAS scores; its only rank history is from 2007–2010 and too old to apply. Per-student spending ($15,050–$16,386) and student-teacher ratios (10.0–12.5) don't line up simply with outcomes, and free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all four schools.
