Summary
Gilmore Elementary School is a K–5 school at 150 Clinton Street in Brockton, MA, serving 444 students, making it the smallest K–5 enrollment among the ten Brockton elementary schools in this comparison.
Gilmore is part of the Brockton district, which ranks 329th of 351 districts statewide (6th percentile, 0 stars). Gilmore’s ten-year record is stable but very low: it has never finished above the 12th percentile statewide and earned 0 stars in nine of ten years. On 2025-26 MCAS, proficiency was 15.38% in English language arts, 11.28% in math, and 14.08% in science—3–8 points below the district and roughly 25–30 points below the state. Science nearly doubled from 7.69% to 14.08%, but math fell further behind the district. Grade-level results show 3rd-grade math at 20%, above the district’s 17.24%, while 5th-grade math drops to 5.63% and 5th-grade ELA to 9.86%. Among ten same-district K–5 peers, Gilmore ranks fourth-lowest; it beats Dr W Arnone Community School, Hancock, and Oscar F Raymond in every subject but trails Louis F Angelo Elementary, about two miles away, which posts roughly double Gilmore’s proficiency.
Resource inputs do not clearly explain the gap. Gilmore spent $16,847 per pupil in 2020-21—more than Louis F Angelo Elementary ($16,681) and about $3,600 more than Rose L Macdonald in West Bridgewater ($13,201), a school that posts 42.00% ELA and 48.48% math proficiency, above the state average in math. Gilmore’s student-teacher ratio is 16.5, mid-pack among peers. The deepest measured weakness is special education effectiveness: the subgroup ranked at the 2nd percentile in both 2024-25 and 2025-26. English language learner results also moved sharply, from the 54th percentile in 2023-24 to the 15th percentile in 2025-26; because subgroup numbers can shift with identification and testing changes, that trend needs more context before parents treat it as a settled pattern. Overall, Gilmore is a chronically low-ranked school within a low-ranked district, with science improvement and 3rd-grade math as the clearest bright spots.
