Summary

Mary E. Baker School is a K–5 elementary school at 45 Quincy Street in Brockton, MA, serving 769 students as part of Brockton Public Schools, a district ranked 329th of 351 in Massachusetts.

On the 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 23.51% of Baker students were proficient in English Language Arts, 18.21% in Mathematics, and 26.04% in Science. That places the school above the Brockton district average in ELA (20.08%) and Science (17.61%), but slightly below it in Mathematics (19.05%) and far below state averages in all three subjects (40.03% ELA, 41.11% Math, 40.98% Science). Among nearby Brockton elementary schools, Baker ranked 3rd in ELA and 2nd in Science, trailing only Louis F. Angelo Elementary in Science. Grade by grade, 3rd and 5th grades were bright spots, while 4th grade was the weakest link, at 14.91% proficient in ELA and 14.16% in Math.

The school's overall rank climbed from the 3rd percentile in 2017–2018 to a peak of 24th percentile in 2023–2024, but has since slipped to 20th and then 15th percentile, with math proficiency falling from 27.47% to 18.21% over three years. Resources look comparatively favorable: Baker's per-pupil spending of $18,279 (2020–2021) was second highest among nearby Brockton schools, behind only Downey, and its 14.4 student-teacher ratio was the lowest of all listed nearby schools. Yet nearby out-of-district schools achieve more with less — Woodsdale Elementary School in Abington spent $14,611 per student and reached 33.82% ELA and 35.40% Math, while Louise A. Conley in Whitman-Hanson spent $14,294 and reached 40.00% ELA, 41.70% Math, and 48.00% Science. Support for low-income students (31st percentile) and students with disabilities (22nd percentile) ranks above the school's overall 15th percentile, though low-income results have declined from earlier highs.

I was skeptical, but my two first graders are doing great! Both were starting to read in kindergarten, and can now read chapter books. The math they are going is great, already adding, subtracting, and even a little division!
The communication with the teachers is great, always available, super easy to get involved, just excellent. I must admit, I was very surprised. Close Quote
