Summary

Brookfield Elementary is a PK–6 school in Brookfield, MA, serving 289 students in a small central Massachusetts town. In 2025–2026, Brookfield Elementary ranked 257th of 899 ranked Massachusetts elementary schools — 71st percentile, 4 stars — and its district, Brookfield, ranks 98th of 351 districts statewide (72nd percentile, 4 stars). That puts the school near the top of its nearby group. Only Brimfield Elementary (175th of 899, 81st percentile) clearly outranks it, and Burgess Elementary is essentially tied. Most surrounding schools — including West Brookfield Elementary, East Brookfield Elementary, Hardwick Elementary, North Brookfield Elementary, Warren Elementary, Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School, and Wire Village School — sit in the bottom half of the state, several at 1 or 2 stars. Brookfield has also improved, up from 64th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025.

Academically, Brookfield is above the state average in all three tested subjects: English language arts at 46.88% proficient (state 40.03%), mathematics at 58.13% (state 41.11%), and science at 58.54% (state 40.98%). Math and science are the clearest strengths, each roughly 17 points above state. Grade-level results show standout performance in 6th grade math at 74.36% proficient — more than 31 points above state and higher than Brimfield Elementary (71.43%) and Burgess Elementary (60.87%) — and in 4th grade ELA at 51.22%, well above the state's 37.43%. The narrowest margin is 6th grade ELA, only 0.77 points above state.

Brookfield's most striking equity signal is its support for students from lower-income backgrounds: it ranked 36th of 742 schools, 95th percentile with 5 stars, for that group in 2025–2026, and was similarly high in 2023–2024. The school also gets results efficiently, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.1 in 2024–2025 (lower than most neighbors except Brimfield at 9.3) and per-student spending of $16,206 in 2020–2021 — less than Brimfield Elementary, West Brookfield Elementary, East Brookfield Elementary, North Brookfield Elementary, Burgess Elementary, Hardwick Elementary, and Charlton Elementary. Trends are positive: since 2022–2023, ELA moved from 42.21% to 46.88%, math from 46.10% to 58.13%, and science from 52.50% to 58.54%.
