Summary:
Elementary schools in Douglas, Massachusetts are served by the Douglas public school district, which enrolls 562 students across two schools: Douglas Primary School for grades PK–1 and Douglas Elementary School for grades 2–5. The district is rated 202 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts, at the 42nd percentile with 2 stars.
Most of what parents can measure comes from Douglas Elementary School, the only school here with state test results. Math is its bright spot: all-grades math was 42.5% proficient in 2025–2026, above the state's 41.11%, and grades 3 and 4 math were roughly 9 percentage points above state at 51.19% and 52.44%. Math also rose 5.45 points from 37.05% the year before, though the district improved as well. ELA is weaker — all-grades ELA was 34.73%, below both the district's 39.88% and the state's 40.03% — and science, at 36.99%, trailed the state's 40.98%. Fifth grade is the clearest concern: 5th grade ELA and math were both 21.62%, versus state rates of 38.15% and 39.5%. The school's rank improved from the 36th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 45th percentile in 2025–2026, while staying at 2 stars.
Douglas Primary School has no test scores in this file because it serves PK–1, so it cannot be judged on achievement here. It spends $16,716 per student versus $14,928 at Douglas Elementary — about $1,788, or roughly 12% more — and its student-teacher ratio is slightly higher, at 13.8 versus 12.9. Spending figures are from 2020–2021 and ratios from 2024–2025, so those comparisons mix years. Free/reduced-lunch information is not reported for either school, which limits the socioeconomic context available to families.
