Summary:

Chicopee has 9 elementary schools serving about 2,872 students, mostly grades K–5, with Belcher serving PK–1, in a district that ranks 283rd of 351 in Massachusetts. The data includes 2025–26 and 2024–25 MCAS proficiency, school ranks, student–teacher ratios, and 2020–21 per-student spending, but free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every school. State comparison points for 2025–26 are ELA 40.03%, Math 41.11%, and Science 40.98%.

Bowie is the top performer: 3 stars, rank 411 of 899, ELA 43.55% (above state 40.03%), Science 56.86% (above state 40.98%), and Math 36.89% (below state but above district). Gen John J Stefanik is stable at the 42nd percentile for three years, with Science 48.33%. Lambert-Lavoie has the highest Math (43.24%, above state) and lowest student–teacher ratio (10.1). Litwin improved from the 29th to 38th percentile, while Fairview Elementary is the weakest current performer: 0 stars, rank 825 of 899, ELA 18.62%, Math 13.19%, Science 24.49%. Bowe has 1 star and ranks 745 of 899, with ELA 21.94%, Math 21.54%, and Science 27.78%. Streiber Memorial School is volatile—4th Grade Math is 58.06%, the highest single grade-level score, but overall Science fell to 18.75% and its rank dropped from 49th to 30th percentile.

Across the eight tested schools, the unweighted average is ELA 30.54%, Math 30.47%, and Science 35.76%—above district in all three subjects but below state, especially Math. Only Lambert-Lavoie exceeded the state Math rate. Science is a bright spot for Bowie and Gen John J Stefanik but uneven for others. ELA has one clear state-level performer: Bowie. Grade-level volatility is high, so small cohorts can make one grade look much stronger or weaker. Rank trends are mixed: Litwin, Lambert-Lavoie, Barry, and Bowie improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26; Gen John J Stefanik held steady; Fairview Elementary and Streiber Memorial School declined. Spending and student–teacher ratios do not show a simple relationship with outcomes. Data gaps matter: Belcher has no MCAS data, and free/reduced-lunch percentages are unavailable.
