In the Abington district in Massachusetts, there are two elementary schools serving 863 students: Beaver Brook Elementary for grades K–2 and Woodsdale Elementary School for grades 3–4; the district is ranked 195 out of 351, at the 44th percentile with 2 stars, placing it slightly below the state midpoint. Beaver Brook Elementary enrolls 491 students, about 32% more than Woodsdale Elementary School’s 372, and accounts for 56.9% of the two-school elementary enrollment.

When comparing resources, Beaver Brook Elementary has the more favorable student-to-teacher ratio—12.5 versus 14.9 at Woodsdale Elementary School—and slightly higher per-student spending: $14,977 versus $14,611. However, Beaver Brook Elementary has no MCAS scores in this file because it serves K–2, and its latest ranking data is from 2016–2017: 530 out of 938, 43rd percentile, 2 stars. That makes direct academic comparison difficult. Woodsdale Elementary School is the only school with recent MCAS Next Generation results, for 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, so parents can see current achievement trends there but not at Beaver Brook Elementary. The lack of test scores at Beaver Brook Elementary is structural, not a performance signal.
