Summary

Grew Elementary School is a PK–6 public school in Boston's Hyde Park neighborhood at 40 Gordon Avenue, serving about 198 students. It is part of the Boston district, which ranks 299 of 351 statewide, yet Grew Elementary School itself ranked 394 of 899 (56th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — its best showing in the available history, after years in the bottom quartile at the 14th–31st percentile and a rise to 49th percentile in 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026, Grew's all-grade proficiency was 42.34 in ELA, 48.65 in Math, and 57.89 in Science — above both its district and the state in all three subjects. Science is its clearest strength: 57.89 compared with the Boston district's 24.94 and the state's 40.98, and the highest among nearby schools, ahead of Bates Elementary School's 37.50 and Tucker's 56.52. Among nearby Boston schools, Grew ranks second in ELA and Math behind Bates Elementary School, and first in Science. It far outperforms its closest neighbors: Channing Elementary School, 0.48 miles away, posted 17.65 ELA and 11.90 Math, while Boston Renaissance Charter Public School, 0.42 miles away, posted 19.91 ELA and 22.01 Math. Tucker, in the Milton district, scores higher in ELA and Math but reports much lower per-student spending ($15,253 vs. $26,701 in 2020–2021) — a gap to read cautiously, since the spending year is not current and district contexts differ.

Upper grades drive the strong results: 5th grade Math reached 73.68 and 6th grade ELA and Math both 66.67, well above district and state, while 3rd and 4th grade scores were more mixed (3rd grade ELA 37.50 and Math 31.25, below state). Because Grew enrolls only 198 students PK–6, grade-level percentages rest on small cohorts and can swing from year to year. Recent subgroup rankings show strength for low-income students — 72nd percentile in 2025–2026, up from 8th percentile in 2023–2024 — while English Language Learner students ranked 38th percentile in 2025–2026. Staffing is relatively favorable, with a 9.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025.
