Summary

Douglas Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-5 in Douglas, MA, with 353 students. The school is part of the Douglas school district, which is ranked 209 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being located in close proximity to several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Henry P. Clough and Memorial School, Douglas Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 34.4% of all grades were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.53%. In Math, 37.05% were proficient compared to 40.74% statewide. The school also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with its rankings for Hispanic, White, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students all in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools, with 1-2 star ratings.

Over the past 10 years, Douglas Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 363 out of 914 schools in 2014-2015 to 557 out of 906 schools in 2024-2025, with its star rating dropping from 3 to 2 stars. The proficiency rates at the school also decline as students progress from 3rd to 5th grade, and while it performs relatively better in Science compared to ELA and Math, its Science proficiency rates still lag the state average, indicating broader academic challenges.
