Summary

Alcott is a PK–5 public elementary school in Concord, MA, serving 438 students as part of the high-performing Concord district, which ranks 28th of 351 districts statewide. Alcott's history is exceptionally strong — it ranked 6th of 932 schools in 2015-16 and 14th of 932 in 2021-22. In 2025-26, however, it ranks 157th of 899, at the 83rd percentile with 4 stars. That is still well above average statewide, but it is the lowest ranking of the three Concord elementary schools, behind Thoreau (98th) and Willard (79th).

On 2025-26 MCAS testing, Alcott's proficiency was 60.19% in ELA, 61.61% in math, and 57.75% in science — roughly 17–20 points above the state average but 8–12 points below its own district. It trails every nearby ranked school except Hanscom School in all three subjects. Fifth grade is the clearest weak spot, below district in all three subjects, with math 9.6 points and science 5.7 points behind. Science has shifted from a strength to a weakness: 75.00 in 2022-23, above the district then, versus 57.75 now. Fourth grade is relatively strong, above district in ELA and math. Overall scores have fallen across all three subjects since 2022-23.

Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: low-socioeconomic-status students rank at the 52nd percentile — essentially the state median — well below the school's overall 83rd percentile, and both special education and female student subgroups declined from the prior year. Resources do not appear to explain the pattern; Alcott spends slightly less than Thoreau and Willard and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio, but spends more than several nearby schools. The bottom line: Alcott remains solid by state standards, but shows a clear relative slide, with 5th-grade math and science the areas to watch most closely.
