Summary

Archie T Morrison is a K–4 elementary school in Braintree, Massachusetts, serving 327 students as part of the Braintree Public Schools district, which ranks 82nd of 351 Massachusetts districts (77th percentile, 4 stars). The school itself ranked 440th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools for 2025–26, placing it at the 51st percentile with 3 stars — down from the 80th percentile in 2021–22, a drop of about 29 percentile points.

Current test results put Archie T Morrison near the state average in English language arts (39.73% proficient vs. 40.03% statewide) and above the state average in math (46.58% vs. 41.11%), but well below its own district in both subjects. Within Braintree, Archie posts the lowest ELA and math proficiency among the K–4 schools compared here, including Hollis, Mary E Flaherty School, Highlands, Liberty, and Donald Ross. The gap to the next-lowest Braintree school, Donald Ross, is about 7 points in each subject, while the gap to Hollis is roughly 26 points in ELA and 16 in math. Compared with nearby Weymouth and Quincy schools, Archie looks more mid-pack: it outperforms Thomas V Nash, William Seach, and Clifford H Marshall Elementary, while trailing Frederick C Murphy and Academy Avenue in ELA.

The decline stands out because Braintree and state results stayed comparatively stable: Archie's ELA proficiency fell from 56.80% in 2022–23 to 39.73% in 2025–26, and math from 60.48% to 46.58%, leaving it about 9 points below the district in both. Math is a relative strength, with third-grade math well above the state average, while ELA is the clearer weakness and Grade 4 ELA (36.99%) is the lowest grade-level result. Low-income students rank at the 72nd percentile with 4 stars, above the school's overall standing. Resources don't obviously explain the trend — per-student spending is $18,839 and the student/teacher ratio is 10.6, both favorable compared with nearby schools.
