Summary:
The Spencer-E Brookfield district in central Massachusetts contains two elementary schools serving a combined 677 students: Wire Village School, which serves grades K–4 with 430 students, and East Brookfield Elementary, which serves grades PK–6 with 247 students. The district as a whole is ranked 279th of 351 Massachusetts districts — the 21st percentile, with 1 star — but that district-wide figure masks a wide gap between these two schools.
East Brookfield Elementary is the stronger of the two on nearly every measure. It ranks 473 of 899 schools in 2025–2026 (47th percentile, 2 stars), compared with Wire Village's 763 of 899 (15th percentile, 1 star). East Brookfield's all-grade ELA proficiency is 39.29%, just 0.74 points below the state and well above the district's 23.87%; math is 38.10% versus 21.70% for the district and 41.11% for the state. Science is its strongest relative subject at 50.00%, compared with 21.29% district-wide and 40.98% statewide, though science fell 12.50 points from the prior year's 62.50%. East Brookfield outperformed Wire Village in every grade and subject both schools test — by 15.00 points in all-grade ELA and 16.07 points in math.
Wire Village, the larger school, sits in the bottom 15th percentile with 1 star and trails the state by 15.74 points in ELA and 19.08 points in math, although its scores rose modestly year over year (ELA +0.59 points, math +2.38 points) and its rank has crept up from 808 of 916 three years ago. Its all-grade averages sit slightly above the district even as its individual grade 3 and 4 results fall below it. East Brookfield spends $18,501 per student versus $16,097 at Wire Village, and free/reduced lunch data is blank for both schools, so poverty context is unavailable. Parents comparing the two should note that the different grade spans limit direct comparison to the shared grades 3–4.
