Summary

Michael Driscoll is a PK–8 school in Brookline, MA, just outside Boston, serving 567 students as part of the Brookline Public Schools district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 93rd out of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (90th percentile, 4 stars), still in the top 10% statewide, though down from 5 stars in 2024–2025. The Brookline district ranks 16th out of 351 districts in Massachusetts. The student–teacher ratio is 13.6, and per-student spending was $24,432 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced lunch data is not available, so socioeconomic context is unavailable.

Michael Driscoll’s 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency rates were 67.97% in ELA, 76.73% in Math, 75.78% in Science, and 83.33% in 8th-grade Civics—well above state averages. Among same-district peers, Math and Science rank second, behind Lawrence in Math and Pierce in Science; Civics is second behind Pierce. In ELA, it is mid-range: below Pierce, William H Lincoln, and Lawrence, above Florida Ruffin Ridley School, and similar to John D Runkle and Roland Hayes. Early literacy is a relative weakness: 3rd and 4th grade ELA are the lowest among same-district peers and below district averages. By contrast, 6th and 8th grade ELA are the highest among peers, while 6th grade Math (86.79%) and 8th grade Math (92.59%) are highest, and 8th grade Science (81.48%) is second only to Pierce. Despite spending less than nearby Boston schools—Edison Elementary School spends $30,735 but reaches 15.63% ELA proficiency—the school spends $24,432 and reaches 67.97%.

With 567 students, Michael Driscoll is mid-sized among Brookline’s PK–8 schools: larger than John D Runkle, William H Lincoln, and Roland Hayes, but smaller than Florida Ruffin Ridley School and Lawrence. It has consistently ranked in the top 10–20% of the state over the past decade. Results are strong for many student groups, though one subgroup trails the school’s overall performance, a gap worth asking about. Data limitations include missing free/reduced lunch information and limited subgroup data. As a PK–8 school, it provides continuity through middle school, unlike nearby Boston schools such as Winship Elementary School, Edison Elementary School, and Gardner Pilot Academy that end earlier, and Baldwin Early Learning Pilot Academy that serves PK–1.
