Page School, an elementary school, is also a high performer, ranking 225th out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating.

The Pentucket School District, which encompasses all 3 schools, is ranked 110th out of 356 districts in Massachusetts and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. However, the individual schools within the district show varying levels of performance, with Pentucket Regional Senior High and Dr. John C. Page School standing out as the top-performing schools. The racial demographics of the schools are relatively homogeneous, with a majority white student population (88-91%) and smaller percentages of Hispanic and Asian students.
The student-teacher ratio at Dr. John C. Page School is the lowest among the 4 elementary schools in the district at 11.1, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. The data does not provide information on free/reduced lunch rates for the schools, which could be an important indicator of the socioeconomic status of the student population and potentially impact academic outcomes.
