Summary

Lt Job Lane School is a public elementary school in Bedford, MA, serving about 540 students in grades 3–5 as part of the Bedford district, which ranks 25th of 351 districts statewide.

By the numbers, Lt Job Lane is one of Massachusetts' strongest elementary schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 63rd of 899 elementary schools statewide — the 93rd percentile, earning 5 stars — continuing a decade-long climb from 103rd of 932 in 2015–2016. MCAS Next Generation proficiency in 2025–2026 was 67.97% in English Language Arts, 68.24% in Mathematics, and 69.47% in Science, roughly 27–28 percentage points above state averages in every subject. Results are unusually even across grades 3, 4, and 5, so no single grade is lifting or dragging the school. Class sizes are reasonable: the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.7, better than 12.7 the prior year, with per-student spending of $18,938 in 2020–2021 (spending figures are older than the test data).

Compared with nearby schools, Lt Job Lane sits in the top tier but not the very top of it. Carlisle School and Joseph Estabrook in the Lexington district outscore it in several subjects, yet Lt Job Lane is well ahead of Pine Glen Elementary, Hanscom School, and the Billerica and Burlington schools — more than 20 points above Hanscom in all three subjects. It achieves these results with a higher student-teacher ratio than Carlisle, Pine Glen, and Hanscom, suggesting efficient performance. Within the district, Lt Eleazer Davis serves PK–2 and has no comparable test data. One area worth watching: effectiveness is not evenly spread across all student groups. Low-income, special education, and English learner students rank very high, and low-income results have improved sharply, while some other groups rank well below the school's overall standing. Free/reduced-lunch data were blank for all comparison schools, so economic composition could not be compared.
