Israel Loring School up 78 spots statewide this year
Summary:

Four elementary schools serve Sudbury, Massachusetts: Peter Noyes (PK–5, 508 students), Israel Loring School (K–5, 426), Josiah Haynes (K–5, 397), and General John Nixon Elementary (PK–5, 382), all part of the Sudbury district, which ranks 23rd of 351 districts statewide with a 93rd-percentile, 5-star rating.

All four schools rank in the top 106 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools, and three hold 5 stars. Josiah Haynes is the most consistent, ranking 58th of 899 at the 94th percentile with 5 stars in each of the last three years. General John Nixon Elementary ranks 59th and posts the highest current ELA (68.32%) and Math (74.53%). Israel Loring School is the only 4-star school and the lowest in ELA (61.97%) and Math (65.42%), yet it leads in Science (78.18%), 10.99 points above the district, and is the only school to gain in all three subjects year over year. Peter Noyes, the largest school, remains 5-star at the 90th percentile but declined in ELA (−9.31), Math (−8.06), and Science (−12.91).

Group averages are ELA 65.24%, Math 69.86%, and Science 73.68% — slightly below the district in ELA and Math, but 6.49 points above in Science and roughly 25 to 33 points above the state in every subject. Science is the strongest relative area, with all four schools beating the district's 67.19%. Most schools, like the district and state, slipped from 2024–25 to 2025–26, especially in science. Grade-level results vary widely: General John Nixon leads 4th-grade Math at 87.93% but falls below district in 3rd-grade Math at 56.14%. Spending and class size show no simple link to outcomes, and blank free/reduced-lunch data means no equity comparison is possible here.
