Summary

Oakham Center is a K–5 elementary school in Oakham, MA, serving 152 students in the Quabbin district — the smallest school in its nearby comparison group, yet one that ranks well above its own district. In 2025–2026 the school placed 434th of 899 Massachusetts schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars), while Quabbin sits at the 29th percentile with 1 star. That is a long climb from 2015–2016, when Oakham Center was at the 32nd percentile, with a dip to the 37th percentile in 2021–2022 before returning to 3-star status.

English language arts and science are the school's strengths. All-grades ELA proficiency was 48.84%, well above the Quabbin district (30.97%) and the state (40.03%) — the highest among nearby schools, ahead of Glenwood Elementary School (42.78%) and Paxton Center (41.18%). Science proficiency was 55.26%, compared with 31.85% in the district and 40.98% statewide; only West Brookfield Elementary did better (62.16%). Within Quabbin, Oakham Center leads Hardwick Elementary, Hubbardston Center, and Ruggles Lane in both subjects.

Math is the clear weak spot, and it looks recent and specific. All-grades math proficiency was 25.88%, slightly below the district (27.45%) and about 15 points below the state (41.11%); only Ruggles Lane (23.90%) and Wire Village School (22.03%) were lower nearby. Math had been 44.71% in 2023–2024 and 41.33% in 2024–2025 while ELA held steady and science improved. Third grade math was 59.09%, but fourth grade math was 16.00% and fifth grade math 13.16% — even though fifth grade science was 55.26%. Oakham spends $18,855 per student (2020–2021), more than any listed nearby school, including Paxton Center ($13,904) and Glenwood Elementary School ($14,626), which outperform it in math. The school has also ranked relatively strongly for low-income students (66th percentile in 2025–2026). With only 152 students, grade-level results can swing from year to year, so it is worth watching whether the math dip persists.
