Elementary Schools in Triton

The Triton district includes three elementary schools — Pine Grove, Newbury Elementary, and Salisbury Elementary — all serving grades PK–6 and together enrolling 1,239 students. The district ranks 111 of 351 in Massachusetts (68th percentile, 3 stars), and its elementary schools scored above the state in all three subjects in 2025–2026: ELA 51.34%, Math 51.22%, and Science 60.14%, compared with state rates of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Two notes for parents: free/reduced lunch percentages are blank for all three schools, so socioeconomic context is unknown, and elementary Science is tested in 5th grade, so the "all grades" Science figures effectively reflect that grade.

Pine Grove is the academic leader, with the top scores in the group in ELA (61.23%), Math (62.01%), and Science (81.58%), a rank of 139 of 899 (85th percentile, 4 stars), and steady improvement over two years. Its 5th grade results are exceptional, including 81.58% proficient in Science, up 18.68 points from the prior year. Newbury Elementary is close behind at 59.72% ELA, 58.49% Math, and 71.15% Science, ranking 161 of 899 (82nd percentile, 4 stars), with particularly strong 6th grade results of 72.34% ELA and 74.47% Math. Newbury's ELA declined year-over-year, and its rank remains below its 2023–2024 peak of 129 of 916.

Salisbury Elementary has the lowest absolute scores — 43.59% ELA, 47.45% Math, and 56.41% Science — but shows the clearest improvement, gaining 8.97 points in ELA, rising from 578 of 916 to 355 of 899, and moving from 2 stars to 3 stars; its ELA is now above the state average. Resources do not map neatly onto outcomes here: Salisbury has the smallest classes at 9.0 students per teacher, while Newbury spends the most at $22,572 per student, yet Pine Grove — with a higher ratio of 11.2 and lower spending of $20,312 — leads in all three subjects. Grade-level strengths also vary: Pine Grove's 5th grade, Newbury's 6th grade, and Salisbury's 4th grade Math, which exceeded the district average.
