Summary:

Leverett, Massachusetts is served by just one school — Leverett Elementary — an elementary school covering grades PK–6 with 137 students, located at 85 Montague Rd in the Leverett district, a single-school district that ranks 141 of 351 statewide (60th percentile, 3 stars).

Academically, the school is a clear strength in English language arts and math. In 2025–2026, 59.42% of students were proficient in ELA versus 40.03% statewide, and 51.43% in math versus 41.11%. Results vary widely by grade: 6th grade was exceptional in both math (83.33% vs. 42.59% state) and ELA (77.78% vs. 40.26% state), and 4th grade reached 70.00% in both subjects, well above state averages of 37.43% in ELA and 43.20% in math. The school's rank has climbed over two years, from 523 of 916 (43rd percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024, up to 228 of 906 (75th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025, and settling at 332 of 899 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — still stronger than two years ago.

The main academic concerns in 2025–2026 are 5th grade, which fell below the state in all three subjects (ELA 27.78% vs. 38.15%, math 21.05% vs. 39.50%, science 31.58% vs. 43.07%), and 3rd grade math at 23.08% vs. 42.19% state, even though 3rd grade ELA was strong at 61.54% vs. 42.79%. Science was the most volatile measure, dropping from 83.33% in 2024–2025 to 31.58% in 2025–2026, a 51.75-point swing that likely reflects a single small 5th grade cohort rather than a school-wide trend. Because only 137 students attend, a single student can shift a grade-level rate by several points, so year-to-year changes should be read with caution. Resource indicators look favorable, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.7:1 and per-student spending of $24,524 (2020–2021); free/reduced lunch data was not reported.
