Summary

George H. Englesby Elementary School is a K–5 school in Dracut, MA, serving 520 students in a town near Lowell, and it currently ranks in the middle of Massachusetts elementary schools.

In 2025–2026, Englesby ranked 500th of 899 schools statewide (44th percentile, 2 stars), down from several years as a 3-star school and a peak of 63rd percentile in 2021–2022. Its all-grade MCAS proficiency rates were 35.97% in English language arts and 38.34% in math, both below the Dracut district and state averages. Science was 44.57%, above the state but below the district’s 5th-grade science rate. The clearest pressure point is 5th grade: ELA was 29.59% and math 34.02%, well below district and state, while 4th grade performed comparatively well and exceeded district averages in both subjects.

Within Dracut, Englesby now trails Greenmont Avenue (51st percentile, 3 stars) and Brookside Elementary (49th percentile, 2 stars), a reversal from 2024–2025. Compared with nearby Lowell schools, Englesby spends less per student ($13,015 in 2020–2021 versus roughly $16,700–$17,800) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (14.9), yet its ELA and math proficiency generally exceed most of them; exceptions include Charles W Morey and Lowell Community Charter Public School. The school also has notably strong relative outcomes for Hispanic and low-income students, while Asian students and White students rank below the school’s overall percentile—an uneven pattern worth asking about.
