East Longmeadow

East Longmeadow, MA has five schools—three elementary (Meadow Brook PK-2, plus Mapleshade and Mountain View for grades 3-5), one middle (Birchland Park 6-8), and one high school (East Longmeadow High 9-12)—serving 2,442 students, with no alternative schools listed, and the East Longmeadow district ranked 161st of 351 in Massachusetts (54th percentile, 3 stars). That overall rating masks a split: the high school and middle school rank above the district percentile, while the two tested upper-elementary schools rank below it.

For parents comparing options, East Longmeadow High has the strongest overall profile: latest rank 98th of 353 (72nd percentile, 4 stars), a 98.3% graduation rate, 1.2% dropout rate, and the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.6). Its science results are a signature—10th-grade science proficiency is 58.99% vs. the state’s 40.5%, and biology is 52.04% vs. 37.68%. Birchland Park is also strong: 137th of 478 (71st percentile, 4 stars), with 7th-grade ELA at 59.12% and 7th-grade math at 55.8%. Meadow Brook has no test or rank data because it serves PK-2, but it has the highest per-student spending ($18,693 in 2020-2021) and highest student-teacher ratio (14.2).

Across tested schools, math is the most consistent bright spot: every tested school beat the state average in latest math, and Mountain View’s 3rd-grade math was 67.12%—the highest single proficiency figure in this data set. ELA is more mixed: Birchland Park was above state, the high school was essentially at state, and Mapleshade and Mountain View were below state; Mountain View’s 4th-grade ELA was 25.27%. Elementary science is volatile—Mapleshade fell from 57.45% to 37.63%, and Mountain View from 52.38% to 40.7%. Both 3-5 elementaries have slipped in rank percentile over three years (Mapleshade 57 to 48, Mountain View 59 to 46). Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not populated, so socioeconomic context cannot be analyzed; spending data are from 2020-2021.
