Summary

Gordon W. Mitchell School is an elementary school in East Bridgewater, MA, serving grades 3–6 with 612 students as part of the East Bridgewater district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 510 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (43rd percentile, 2 stars). Its MCAS Next Generation proficiency rates were 34.47% in English language arts, 38.89% in mathematics, and 42.07% in science, above the district in all three subjects (31.66%, 32.23%, and 36.48%), but below the state in ELA and math and only slightly above the state in science. The school’s rank has drifted down from the 62nd percentile in 2020–2021 to 43rd in 2025–2026, and it now holds 2 stars after previously holding 3.

Grade-level results are uneven. Sixth-grade math is a clear strength at 46.41%, above district and state, and sixth-grade ELA is essentially at the state average. The weakest spots are fifth-grade ELA at 26.71%, more than 11 points below state, and third-grade math at 30.17%, about 12 points below state. Compared with nearby schools, Gordon W. Mitchell is much stronger than the Brockton district schools Downey, Gilmore Elementary School, and Edgar B Davis, whose proficiency rates are generally in the 11–22% range. It is mixed against Williams Intermediate School and John H Duval, but trails Louise A Conley in all three subjects in 2025–2026.

Science has been volatile: it jumped to 58.11% in 2024–2025, well above the state’s 41.51%, then returned to 42.07% in 2025–2026. The school’s student-teacher ratio of 11.5 is lower than almost every nearby school listed, yet ELA and math remain below state average, suggesting class size alone is not driving outcomes. For parents, the bottom line is that Gordon W. Mitchell is a mid-tier school that outperforms its own district and nearby Brockton schools, with strengths in science and sixth-grade math/ELA, but it faces a multi-year decline, weak fifth-grade ELA and third-grade math, and mixed effectiveness for some student groups, including improving special education effectiveness and declining low-income effectiveness.
