Summary

Brimfield Elementary is a PK–6 public school serving 258 students in Brimfield, MA, and it is the only school in the Brimfield district. The district ranks 62nd of 351 Massachusetts districts—82nd percentile, 4 stars—and the school itself ranked 175th of 899 in 2025–2026, or 81st percentile with 4 stars. That 4-star rating has held in every listed year from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026, keeping the school in the top fifth of Massachusetts elementary schools. Class sizes look manageable too: the student-teacher ratio was 9.3 in 2024–2025, down from 10.5 in 2022–2023 and lower than most nearby schools, with only Wales Elementary (8.6) below it.

Academically, the school outperforms the state in all three tested subjects. In 2025–2026 all-grade MCAS Next Generation results, Brimfield posted 50.69% proficient in ELA, 69.39% in math, and 61.54% in science, versus state rates of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Those are the highest proficiency rates among nearby schools with comparable data, ahead of Burgess Elementary, Brookfield Elementary, and Holland Elementary. Math is the standout: 69.39% is well above the next-highest nearby school, Brookfield at 58.13%. Grade-level results show 5th-grade math at 80.77% (state: 39.50%), 4th-grade math at 75.00%, and 6th-grade math at 71.43%.

Perhaps the most striking finding is how well the school serves low-income students: its Low Socio Economic Status effectiveness rank was 29th of 742 (96th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026, after 4th of 760 in 2023–2024. The Brimfield district also outranks every nearby district, including Sturbridge, Brookfield, Southbridge, Palmer, Monson, and Quaboag Regional. Two things to watch: ELA and science proficiency have softened from earlier peaks, and the school's rank slipped from 116th of 916 in 2023–2024. With 258 students, individual grade results can swing year to year, but the multi-year 4-star record is consistent.
