Summary

Thomas Willett Elementary School is a K–4 school in Attleboro, MA, serving 373 students in the Attleboro district, which is ranked 214th of 351 districts in Massachusetts (39th percentile, 2 stars). The school currently ranks 588th of 899 elementary schools statewide for 2025–2026 — 35th percentile, 2 stars — the lowest percentile in its displayed history.

Test scores trail both the district and the state. In 2025–2026, 34.9% of students met expectations in ELA and 32.89% in math, compared with 40.03% and 41.11% statewide. Grade 3 ELA is nearly at the state average (42.47% vs. 42.79%), but grade 4 drops sharply: 27.63% in ELA and 28.95% in math, about 10 points below the district and as much as 14 points below the state. Among nearby Attleboro elementary schools, Thomas Willett ranks lowest — Hyman Fine Elementary School is at the 56th percentile (3 stars), while Hill-Roberts Elementary School, A. Irvin Studley Elementary School, and Peter Thacher Elementary School sit in the 47th–49th percentile range. Several North Attleborough schools, including Falls at the 75th percentile, also outperform it. The pattern is long-term: the school was 3 stars and in the 60th–68th percentile from 2015–2016 through 2018–2019, and has held at 2 stars since 2020–2021.

Subgroup results are the bigger concern. English Language Learner students rank 290th of 291 schools (0th percentile, 0 stars), and the Hispanic subgroup fell from the 89th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 19th percentile in 2025–2026. Low-income, female, White, and special education subgroups also declined this year. Spending does not appear to be the limiting factor: at $16,688 per student in 2020–2021, the school spends more than most nearby peers that outperform it, and its 14.6 student-teacher ratio is mid-range for the area.
