Summary

Barry is a K–5 elementary school in Chicopee, MA, a city in the Springfield metro area, serving 359 students as part of the Chicopee district. Its 2025–26 statewide rank is 665th of 899 Massachusetts schools (26th percentile, 1 star), while the Chicopee district ranks 283rd of 351 districts statewide. Barry's long-term trajectory is striking: it ranked 120th of 932 schools (87th percentile, 4 stars) in 2015–16, then fell to 21st percentile by 2023–24, with a slight uptick to 23rd percentile in 2024–25 and 26th percentile in 2025–26.

On 2025–26 tests, Barry's ELA proficiency was 23.98%, below the Chicopee district's 27.19% and the state's 40.03%. Math was 28.65%, slightly above the district's 27.34% but about 12 points below the state's 41.11%. Science was 37.70% — above the district's 34.02% and only about 3 points below the state's 40.98%. Science has climbed sharply, from 21.31% in 2023–24 to 27.14% in 2024–25 to 37.70% in 2025–26, and is currently the school's strongest academic signal. ELA has held in the low-to-mid 20s for several years, with 4th-grade ELA at 17.19% a clear weak point, versus the district's 27.33% and the state's 37.43%. Fifth-grade science (37.70%) and 5th-grade math (31.15%) are relative bright spots, both above district averages.

Among same-district schools with reported data, Barry ranks 4th of 5 — above Bowe but below Lambert-Lavoie, Gen John J Stefanik, and Streiber Memorial School. Looking beyond the district, Barry outperforms Morgan Full Service Community School and Holyoke Community Charter School, is similar to Mary O Pottenger, and trails Samuel Bowles. In subgroup results, which describe how well a school serves a population, Barry's strongest showing is for low-income students (44th percentile, 2 stars), higher than its overall 26th percentile, while special education students rank lower (24th percentile, 1 star).
