Summary:
Natick, Massachusetts has four elementary schools serving grades K–4 — Bennett-Hemenway, Brown, Memorial, and Lilja Elementary — enrolling 1,898 students combined, in a Natick district ranked 45 of 351 statewide (87th percentile, 4 stars).
Memorial is the strongest overall performer. It ranks 76 of 899 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and is the only school above the district in every reported test row, with the highest all-grade ELA (66.49%) and 4th-grade math (75.26%) in the group. Brown is the math leader, with 69.51% all-grade math and 71.43% in 4th grade, and has held a steady rank near 110th. Bennett-Hemenway ranks 109th, a sharp improvement from 189th the prior year, and posts the best 3rd-grade results here — 72.00% in both ELA and math.
Lilja is the clear outlier: 364 of 899 (60th percentile, 3 stars), below the district in every reported row (42.78% all-grade ELA versus 60.05% for the district; 50.56% math versus 67.14%), though still above the state in every row. Math improved at all four schools year over year, with Bennett-Hemenway gaining nearly 9 points (60.19% to 69.07%), while ELA declined at three. Resources do not track neatly with results: Memorial has the highest student-teacher ratio (14.4) and lowest per-student spending ($14,262) yet the best outcomes, while Lilja has the lowest ratio (11.7) and second-highest spending ($15,584). Free/reduced-lunch percentages were not reported, so socioeconomic comparisons are not possible here.
