Summary

Hajjar Elementary is a K–4 school in Billerica, MA, serving 401 students in a district ranked 175th of 351 in Massachusetts (50th percentile, 3 stars). Its 2025–2026 standing is 571st of 899 elementary schools — 36th percentile, 2 stars — down from 58th percentile in 2023–2024 and 52nd in 2024–2025. That is its lowest since at least 2018–2019 and far below its 2020–2021 peak of the 67th percentile.

On the latest MCAS Next Generation results, proficiency trails the Billerica district and the state: 35.46% in ELA (district 41.81%, state 40.03%) and 34.51% in math (district 41.69%, state 41.11%). The weakest area is 3rd-grade math at 27.85%, about 14 points below both district (41.71%) and state (42.19%); 4th-grade ELA is also low at 30.65%, while 4th-grade math (42.86%) is roughly in line with district and state. Math has swung sharply, from 55.84% in 2023–2024 — above district and state — to 46.31% and then 34.51%, while ELA has trailed the district each of the last four years. Subgroup results are uneven: special education students ranked in the 19th percentile in 2025–2026, and female students fell from the 60th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 32nd.

Among Billerica's K–4 schools, Hajjar is the lowest ranked: John F Kennedy (69th percentile, 57.72% in math) and Frederick J Dutile (57th) both outscore it, and Parker (41st) edges it in math. Nearby Chelmsford schools show a similar gap: South Row (85th percentile) and Center Elementary School in Chelmsford (72nd) far outperform Hajjar while spending less per student — $16,510 and $15,720, versus $18,669. Hajjar's student-teacher ratio of 13.9 is unremarkable among these peers, so class size and spending alone don't appear to explain the difference.
