Summary:

Agawam, MA is home to four elementary schools — Clifford M Granger, Benjamin J Phelps, James Clark School, and William P. Sapelli Elementary — all serving grades K–4 and enrolling 1,252 students combined, within the Agawam district, which ranks 207th of 351 Massachusetts districts at the 41st percentile with 2 stars.

Despite that district-wide rating, three of the four schools earned 3 stars in 2025-2026, and all four beat the district average in both ELA and math. Clifford M Granger is the academic leader: highest all-grade ELA (46.72%) and math (49.64%) proficiency, best rank (337 of 899, 63rd percentile), and the largest ELA gain (36.00% to 46.72%). Benjamin J Phelps follows closely at 44.44% ELA and 46.40% math and has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 13.4. William P. Sapelli posted the biggest math rebound, climbing from 35.45% to 48.08% and moving from the 36th to the 55th percentile — all while spending the least per student ($17,898).

James Clark shows the most uneven profile: highest per-student spending ($22,063) and highest student-teacher ratio (16.1), yet the lowest all-grade ELA (35.29%) and math (40.44%). Its 3rd-grade scores are competitive (47.89% ELA, 53.52% math), but 4th grade falls sharply (21.54% ELA, 26.15% math). Across the group, spending and class size do not track neatly with outcomes, and free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every school, so socioeconomic context cannot be compared.
