Summary:
Brookfield has just one public elementary school: Brookfield Elementary, a PK–6 school with 289 students located at 37 Central Street, Brookfield, MA 01506. It is part of the Brookfield district, which ranks 98th of 351 districts statewide (72nd percentile, 4 stars). Because this is the only elementary school in the area and its test scores match the district's exactly, the school and district results are effectively identical.
Academically, the school performs above the state. In 2025–2026, it exceeded Massachusetts averages in every reported subject and every reported grade level. Mathematics is the standout: 58.13% of students were proficient versus 41.11% statewide, and 6th grade math reached 74.36% — 31.77 points above the state average. Science (58.54%) and English language arts (46.88%) were also above state averages. ELA is the more uneven subject by grade, ranging from +13.79 points in 4th grade to just +0.77 points in 6th grade — still above state, but the narrowest margin in the data.
The school's overall trajectory is improving. It moved from 64th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to 71st percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, ranking 257th of 899 schools. Math rose 5.93 points year over year and ELA edged up 1.88 points. Science, however, fell 14.43 points, from 72.97% to 58.54% — the only subject to decline — though it remains well above the state average. Since science is tested only in 5th grade here, that swing may reflect one class cohort rather than a broad instructional change. Keep in mind that free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so economic context cannot be assessed, and the per-student spending figure ($16,206) dates to 2020–2021.
