Summary:
Easton, MA is served by two elementary schools that together enroll 1,517 students and split the elementary grades between them: Blanche A. Ames Elementary School covers PK–2 (762 students) and Richardson Olmsted School covers grades 3–5 (755 students). Both belong to the Easton district, which ranks 78 of 351 districts statewide — the 78th percentile — and holds 4 stars. Enrollment between the two schools differs by just 7 students, or about 0.9%, and both report the same 13.7 student-teacher ratio for 2024–2025.
Only Richardson Olmsted has test data in this extract, and it compares well with the state. In 2025–2026 its all-grade proficiency was 46.74% in English language arts (6.71 points above the state), 54.94% in math (13.83 points above), and 53.33% in science (12.35 points above). Grade-level results are especially strong in math: 4th grade scored 61.85%, which is 18.65 points above the state and equal to the district figure. At every tested grade and subject in 2025–2026, Olmsted met or exceeded the district, even though its all-grade figures sit slightly below the district's all-grade numbers. Blanche A. Ames, which serves grades below the MCAS testing span, has no test records here; that absence is expected rather than a sign of weak performance. Ames does report the higher per-student spending: $17,925 in 2020–2021 versus $14,520 at Olmsted, about 23.5% more.
One caution for parents: Olmsted's relative rank has slipped, from 220 of 916 (76th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 279 of 899 (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, and its all-grade science score fell 4.27 points year over year. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not populated for either school, so socioeconomic context can't be assessed, and spending data comes from a different year than enrollment and staffing figures.
