Summary

Tobin K-8 School is a PK–8 school in Roxbury, part of Boston Public Schools, serving 364 students in an area where nearby Brookline and Boston schools show sharply different results. In 2025–26, it ranked 793rd of 899 Massachusetts schools (12th percentile, 1 star)—a slight improvement from 7th percentile the year before, but still the bottom 12% of the state. Its all-grade proficiency rates were 13.68% in English language arts, 13.27% in math, and 5.97% in science, far below Boston and the state.

Among nearby schools, the school is not always the lowest, but it is consistently in the bottom tier. Its ELA and math results are above Hennigan Elementary School and Orchard Gardens K-8 School, yet far below Hale Elementary School (55.68% ELA, 57.95% math, 50.00% science), Mendell Elementary School, Kennedy John F Elementary School, and Hurley K-8 School. In science, it is above only one of those nearby schools. The contrast with nearby Brookline schools is extreme: Lawrence and Pierce have proficiency rates in the 70–80% range, roughly 58 to 70 percentage points higher. Yet the school’s student–teacher ratio of 9.6 is lower than most nearby schools, and its per-pupil spending of $26,331 is higher than several, suggesting larger classes or lower spending do not by themselves explain the lower outcomes.

Results vary by grade and student group. Bright spots include 5th-grade ELA at 32.26% (above the district) and 6th-grade math at 39.13% (above the district), while 3rd-grade math is 26.32% (close to the district). But 7th-grade math is 2.70%, 8th-grade math is 2.86%, 8th-grade ELA and science are both 5.71%, and 8th-grade civics is 2.86%. Relative effectiveness also differs by student group: female students rank at the 24th percentile, male students at the 3rd percentile, English language learners at the 25th percentile, special education students at the 17th percentile, and low-income students at the 16th percentile. Overall, the school has persistently low outcomes with a slight recent rank improvement and a few isolated bright spots; meaningful improvement will likely require targeted instructional and systemic changes, not simply more staff or spending.
