Summary

Everett Elementary School is a PK–6 elementary school at 71 Pleasant Street in Dorchester, MA 02125, serving 288 students in the Boston district. In 2025–2026 it ranks 606th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 33rd percentile, with 2 stars — while the Boston district itself ranks 299th of 351 districts, in the 15th percentile with 1 star.

Among nearby Boston elementary schools, Everett stands out in two of three tested subjects. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates are 34.19% in ELA and 31.41% in math, both above the district (29.41% and 29.12%) and above the nearby same-district average. Its ELA results top every nearby same-district school, including UP Academy Holland (26.65%), Mather Elementary School (26.72%), Dever Elementary School (25.15%), Russell Elementary School (25.00%), Winthrop Elementary School (16.38%), Clap Elementary School (15.87%) and King Elementary School (8.84%). Math is above all of those except UP Academy Holland (33.33%). Among nearby charters, its ELA rate edges out Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School (29.91%) but trails Conservatory Lab Charter School (36.58%). Science is the weak spot at 17.14%, below the district's 24.94%.

The school is on an improving trajectory: it moved from the 18th percentile (1 star) in 2020–2021 to the 33rd percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026, and all-grade math rose from 19.86% to 31.41% year over year. Grade-level results are uneven. Fifth grade is the clearest concern, with ELA, math and science all at 20% or below in 2025–2026 and below district and state averages. Third-grade ELA (45.00%) and fourth-grade math (43.59%) are the strongest results and exceed state averages. State subgroup rankings show the school serves some groups comparatively well, including African American, low-socioeconomic-status and special education students, all at 3 stars in 2025–2026; English Language Learner students, however, fell to the 9th percentile with 0 stars in 2024–2025. Enrollment is 288, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 11.2, and per-student spending was $26,287 in 2020–2021.
