Carlisle

Carlisle, Massachusetts is served by one school: Carlisle School, a PK–8 school classified as Elementary with 612 students listed. Because the Carlisle district contains only this one school, district scores are identical to school scores in every reported test row, and the district's 2nd-of-351 ranking reflects Carlisle School itself rather than an average across multiple campuses.

Results are exceptionally strong. The district ranks 2nd of 351 statewide, in the 99th percentile with 5 stars. Carlisle School ranked 19th of 899 schools in 2025-2026 (98th percentile, 5 stars), improving from 43rd of 906 in 2024-2025 and 21st of 916 in 2023-2024 — earning 5 stars in all three years. In 2025-2026, all-grade proficiency was 75.37% in ELA (state 40.03%), 76.49% in mathematics (state 41.11%), 81.97% in science (state 40.98%), and 71.67% in 8th-grade civics (state 39.77%) — roughly 1.8× to 2.0× the state rate.

Every reported grade level exceeds the state. Eighth grade is a standout at 83.33% in ELA, 83.61% in mathematics, and 81.67% in science; 6th grade also performed well (80.70% ELA, 81.03% math). The lowest grade-level result, 3rd-grade mathematics at 67.19%, is still 25 percentage points above the state's 42.19%. Science is the strongest subject overall. Year over year, changes were modest except 8th-grade civics, which fell 7 percentage points, from 78.67% to 71.67%. On context: the student-teacher ratio is 10.2 (2024-2025), per-student spending is $20,751 (2020-2021, so not current), and free/reduced lunch data is not provided, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed.
