Summary

Frederick J Dutile is a K–4 elementary school in North Billerica, MA, serving 310 students as part of the Billerica district — the smallest of the Billerica K–4 elementaries shown here. In 2025–2026 it ranked 387th of 899 Massachusetts schools (57th percentile, three stars), and its MCAS proficiency is above both district and state averages in English Language Arts (46.9%) and math (45.13%). That said, the school's trajectory has been sliding from a peak: it reached the 80th percentile in 2022–2023, then 71st, 66th, and 57th, and its margin over the district and state has narrowed noticeably, especially in math.

The 2025–2026 results hide a big split between grades. Third-grade ELA is exceptionally strong at 63.16%, far above district and state, while fourth-grade ELA is 30.36%, below both; fourth-grade math (41.07%) also trails district and state. Within Billerica, Dutile posts the highest ELA proficiency among the K–4 schools shown — ahead of John F Kennedy, Thomas Ditson, Parker, and Hajjar Elementary — but sits second in math, well behind John F Kennedy. Compared with nearby schools outside the district, Dutile is mid-pack: it trails Carlisle School, Lt Job Lane School, South Row, and Center Elementary School, while ranking above John J Shaughnessy in Lowell. Several higher-scoring nearby schools have lower student/teacher ratios than Dutile's 14.2.

Subgroup results are mixed. Students from low-income families ranked at the 82nd percentile in 2024–2025, a strong single-year signal, while special education results have hovered near the middle (50th, 44th, 54th) and boys' results fell from the 75th percentile to the 50th in 2025–2026. Per-student spending was $18,281 in 2020–2021, mid-range among Billerica schools; that figure is dated, and free/reduced-lunch data were unavailable, so family-income context can't be assessed. Because Dutile serves grades K–4, it has no science MCAS results to compare with schools like Carlisle. The most reliable current signals are the ELA and math scores, the grade-level gap, and the recent downward rank trend.
