Foxborough

Foxborough has five public schools serving 2,504 students: three elementary schools—Vincent M Igo Elementary, Mabelle M Burrell, and Charles Taylor Elementary, covering pre-K or kindergarten through grade 4; one middle school (John J Ahern, grades 5–8); and one high school (Foxborough High, grades 9–12). The Foxborough district ranks 88th of 351 in Massachusetts—75th percentile, 4 stars—and most school-level test scores sit above state averages. Free and reduced-price lunch data is missing for every school, so economic context could not be analyzed.

Charles Taylor Elementary is the district's clear academic standout. It is the only 5-star school in 2025-2026, ranking 61st of 899 elementary schools and improving from the 81st percentile three years ago to the 93rd today. Its all-grade proficiency leads the district in both English language arts (70.87%) and math (68.93%). By contrast, Vincent M Igo Elementary has declined sharply, falling from the 86th percentile to the 67th, with ELA down 13.60 points and math down 7.42 points in a single year. Mabelle M Burrell is a math standout (66.67%) but has an uneven profile: its 4th grade ELA score of 35.59% falls below both district and state averages.

Foxborough High posts strong high school numbers—a 95.9% graduation rate and 1.0% dropout rate, with math, science, and biology scores above state averages. Its weak spot is 10th grade ELA at 42.14%, below the state's 45.48% and down about nine points from the prior year. John J Ahern, the largest school at 772 students, has slipped from the 74th to the 68th percentile and from 4 stars to 3, with 8th grade science (32.20%) and civics (37.71%) both below state levels. Per-student spending and student-teacher ratios do not show a simple relationship with results here, and the spending figures date from 2020-2021, so they are historical context only.
