Summary

Haggerty is a PK–5 elementary school with 250 students in Cambridge, MA, part of Cambridge Public Schools, a district ranked 71st of 351 in Massachusetts (80th percentile, 4 stars). Haggerty's own recent trajectory has been strong, but 2025–2026 shows a notable drop: it ranks 385th of 899 elementary schools statewide (57th percentile, 3 stars), down from 193rd of 906 (79th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025. Over the longer term, the school rose from the 26th percentile with 1 star in 2016–2017 to 4-star status in most years from 2020–2021 through 2024–2025, so the 2025–2026 results interrupt that run rather than erase it.

In 2025–2026 MCAS results, all-grade proficiency was 46.34% in English language arts and 48.39% in math — above the state's 40.03% and 41.11%, but below Cambridge's 59.47% and 57.29%. Science is the clearest weakness at 30.43%, below the state's 40.98% and well below Cambridge's 51.03%; at the tested 5th-grade level, Haggerty scored 30.43% versus 52.39% districtwide and 43.07% statewide — behind nearby Peabody (48.72%), Graham and Parks (46.00%), James Russell Lowell (64.71%), Hardy (76.67%), and Benjamin Banneker Charter Public School (80.00%). Bright spots include 4th-grade math at 55.00% (state: 43.20%) and 5th-grade ELA at 50.00% (state: 38.15%).

Resources stand out: Haggerty has the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.3 in 2024–2025) and the highest per-student spending ($34,911 in 2020–2021) among nearby schools, yet in 2025–2026 it trails its same-district peers Peabody and Graham and Parks in all three subjects. Subgroup effectiveness ranks show relatively stronger results for some groups and lower ranks for male, low-income, and special education students, with low-income students dropping from the 81st percentile (4 stars) in 2024–2025 to the 45th percentile (2 stars). Free/reduced lunch data are blank in the dataset, so they are unavailable rather than a sign of strength or weakness.
