Summary:

Haverhill, Massachusetts has eight elementary schools in this data set, serving students from prekindergarten through grade 8, with 3,814 students enrolled across the listed schools. Sizes range from Moody, a PK–K school with 167 students, to Caleb Dustin Hunking School, a K–8 school with 1,062 students — roughly 27.8% of the total. The wider district context matters: Haverhill is ranked 294 of 351 districts, at the 16th percentile, with 1 star. That district row appears on every school page, so it is a district-level comparator, not a school rating. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every school, so socioeconomic context cannot be analyzed here.

Two schools stand out. Bradford Elementary has the best 2025–2026 rank among ranked schools, 481 of 899, 46th percentile, and has improved from the 27th to the 40th to the 46th percentile. Its math proficiency is 45.36%, above the district's 29.27% and the state's 41.11%; ELA is 35.71%, above the district but below the state. Bradford also has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.0. Walnut Square posts the highest ELA and math proficiency, 42.11% in both, above district and state, with large year-over-year gains — but it is a K–3 school of only 161 students with no rank history, so results may swing. Caleb Dustin Hunking School is notable for scale, with math at 41.15%, essentially tied with the state's 41.11%.

Other schools face bigger challenges. Tilton has the lowest all-grade ELA, 20.25%, and its rank has declined from the 40th to the 31st to the 25th percentile. Silver Hill Elementary School has also declined, from the 31st to the 20th percentile, with ELA at 23.11%. Pentucket Lake Elementary has the lowest all-grade science, 19.44%, and the lowest grade-level figure in the file, 5th-grade math at 11.11%, though its rank is improving. Golden Hill is steadily improving, from the 30th to the 35th percentile. Overall, math tends to be stronger than ELA in Haverhill. Gaps remain: Moody has no test scores, Walnut Square has no rank history, and all-grade science appears only for Hunking and Pentucket Lake.
