Summary

Luther Conant School is a K–6 elementary school at 80 Taylor Road in Acton, MA, serving 410 students as part of the Acton-Boxborough district, and it currently ranks 84th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools.

The school remains a top-10% performer statewide, but its rank has slipped from the top 2% in 2020-21 and 2021-22 to 91st percentile in 2025-26. In 2025-26, ELA proficiency was 67.44, math 74.88, and science 75.61—all 27–35 points above state averages—though ELA and science have declined for three straight reporting cycles while math rebounded. Within Acton-Boxborough, Luther Conant School is the clear #2 behind Paul P Gates Elementary School, and there is a 37-point percentile gap between the district's top and bottom K–6 schools; the two closest schools, McCarthy-Towne School and Merriam School, both 0.88 miles away, rank much lower. Luther Conant School also beats the district average in all three subjects.

Grade-level results are uneven: in 2025-26, 4th grade had the lowest ELA (44.62) and math (59.09) at Luther Conant School, while 6th grade led the district in both ELA (83.82) and math (89.71). The school gets strong value: it spends $16,777 per student, far less than Willard ($22,297) and Thoreau ($22,631), while posting comparable or better results, and its students-per-teacher ratio improved to 12.4 in 2024-25. Special education students rank in the 91st percentile in each of the last two years, and female and male students perform similarly. Families should watch the multi-year ELA and science trend and the 4th-grade cohort as it advances.
