Summary:
Elementary schools in Lunenburg, Massachusetts consist of just two schools serving a combined 719 students in a clean PK–5 pipeline: Lunenburg Primary School for grades PK–2 and Turkey Hill Elementary School for grades 3–5, both part of the Lunenburg district, which is ranked 166 of 351 districts statewide — the 53rd percentile — and holds a 3-star rating.
The two schools split the elementary years almost evenly, with Lunenburg Primary enrolling 374 students (about 52%) and Turkey Hill enrolling 345 (about 48%). Lunenburg Primary is the larger school and also shows a lower student-teacher ratio, 15.9 versus 18.1, and higher per-student spending, $15,289 versus $14,554 in 2020–2021 — roughly $735 more per student, or about 5.1% more. It has no MCAS test scores in this data, which is expected because state testing begins in grade 3, so that absence is structural rather than a sign of weak performance. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for both schools, so family-income context is unknown here.
Turkey Hill is where outcome data exists, and its clearest strength is math: 50% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, above the district's 47.04% and well above the state's 41.11%. Grade-level math is consistent at 44.04% in grade 3, 52.27% in grade 4 and 53.27% in grade 5. Science, at 44.86%, is also above the state's 40.98%. English Language Arts is the clear weak spot: 34.29% overall, below the district's 39.01% and the state's 40.03%, with grade 5 ELA at just 20.75% against the state's 38.15% — a 32.52-point gap behind grade 5 math. Year over year, math rose 3.10 points while ELA fell 7.77 and science fell 4.69. Turkey Hill's rank has held steady in the low-to-mid 50s percentile with 3 stars.
