Summary

Crocker Farm Elementary is a PK–6 school in Amherst, MA, serving 353 students and ranking 249th of 899 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026 (72nd percentile, 4 stars). It is part of the Amherst district, which ranks 119th of 351 districts. The school has improved substantially, rising from the 27th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 65th–77th percentile range recently, though 2025–2026 is slightly below the previous two years. Its student–teacher ratio is 9.7, and per-student spending is $26,368. Free/reduced-lunch data were not available.

On 2025–2026 MCAS, Crocker Farm Elementary scored above the Amherst district and Massachusetts in ELA (56.8 vs. 52.67 vs. 40.03), math (49.4 vs. 47.47 vs. 41.11), and science (51.02 vs. 49.64 vs. 40.98). Among nearby schools, it has the highest ELA proficiency, ahead of Pelham Elementary (55.13), Wildwood Elementary (53.29), and Jackson Street (52.05). Math is above district and state but lower than Pelham Elementary, Hadley Elementary, and Jackson Street. Science is above district and state but lower than Pelham Elementary, Hadley Elementary, Jackson Street, East Meadow, Wildwood Elementary, and Hatfield Elementary; it is a grade-5-only measure. Within the Amherst district, Crocker Farm Elementary outperforms Wildwood Elementary and Fort River Elementary in ELA, math, and rank percentile, while Wildwood Elementary has higher science.

Grade-level results show ELA is consistently above state in grades 3–6 and above district in grades 3–5. Math is strong in grades 4 and 5, but grade 3 math is below district and state. Special education subgroup results are a clear strength, with recent ranks at the 97th–99th percentiles. Other subgroup results are uneven, including a low-SES rank that fell from the 91st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 48th in 2025–2026. Resources are high, but Pelham Elementary spends less ($21,032) and ranks higher overall (79%), suggesting spending alone does not determine outcomes. The 2025–2026 data show a slight softening in rank, math, and science from the prior two years, though scores remain above district and state. Overall, Crocker Farm Elementary is a high-performing, resource-rich school with a strong recent trajectory, especially in ELA; the key question is whether the latest dip is temporary.
