Summary

East Brookfield Elementary is a PK–6 school at 410 East Main Street in East Brookfield, a small town in central Massachusetts, serving 247 students as part of the Spencer-E Brookfield district. In 2025-2026 it ranked 473rd of 899 Massachusetts schools (47th percentile, 2 stars), well above its district's 279th of 351 (21st percentile, 1 star). The school was stronger in the past, holding the 60th–71st percentile from 2016-2017 through 2021-2022 before settling into the middle of the state distribution.

On 2025-2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 39.29% of students were proficient in ELA, 38.1% in math, and 50% in science — far above district averages of 23.87%, 21.7%, and 21.29%. Results are close to the state in ELA (40.03%) and math (41.11%) and above the state in science (40.98%). Science is the clearest signature strength, though it has declined from a 78.57% peak in 2023-2024. Math has rebounded from 29.58% in 2023-2024 but remains below state, with 5th-grade math at 21.43% versus 39.50% statewide. ELA has cooled from 56.58% in 2022-2023 to 39.29%, now essentially at the state average. Where data exists, the school posts very high effectiveness rankings for low-income and special education students.

Compared with nearby schools, East Brookfield clearly outperforms same-district Wire Village School (24.29% ELA, 22.03% math, 15th percentile). However, 4-star neighbors Burgess Elementary and Brookfield Elementary outscore it in all three subjects, and West Brookfield Elementary and Oakham Center each beat it in two of three. Heritage School is the closest overall peer. Per-student spending was $18,501 in 2020-2021 — second-highest in this peer group — while achievement is mid-pack; Paxton Center spends $13,904 and posts higher ELA and math. The 2024-2025 student-teacher ratio was 13.1.
