Summary

Mapleshade is a grades 3–5 elementary school with 297 students in East Longmeadow, MA, a suburban community just outside Springfield, and is part of the East Longmeadow district. Its 2025–2026 state rank is 463rd of 899 schools (48th percentile, 2 stars) — just below its district's 161st of 351 districts (54th percentile, 3 stars) and in the middle statewide. The rank has drifted down from 401/906 (56th percentile) and 396/916 (57th percentile) in the two prior years, though it was higher still (64th–76th percentile) in 2016–2019.

Math is Mapleshade's clearest strength: 44.67% proficient in 2025–2026, above the state's 41.11% and higher than every Springfield comparison school, including Frederick Harris (42.64%), Alice B Beal Elementary (30.77%), Daniel B Brunton (22.45%) and Washington (11.18%); only same-district Mountain View (46.37%) was slightly higher, and math has held steady in the mid-40s for three years. English language arts is at 37.8% proficient, below the district (41.02%) and state (40.03%), with a sharp grade split — 3rd grade 50.54%, 4th grade 32.69%, 5th grade 30.85%. Science is the biggest recent change: 37.63% proficient, down from 57.45% and 59.18%, and below district, state, and most nearby schools. Because science is tested only in 5th grade, one cohort can swing the result.

Mapleshade spends less per student than every nearby school in the comparison data ($17,968 in 2020–2021), while its student-teacher ratio rose from 11.9 to 12.7 between 2022–2023 and 2024–2025, higher than Mountain View's 10.6. Its relative effectiveness varies across student groups: female students rank at the 64th percentile versus 38th for male students, and low-socioeconomic-status students rank at the 60th percentile, down from 76th–78th in the two prior years. Free/reduced lunch figures were not available, so economic context is limited. Overall, Mapleshade is a mid-pack state school that beats most Springfield neighbors in math and overall rank, but trails the strongest nearby schools in ELA and science, and its rank has softened.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, May 27, 2013

This school lacks leadership. The prinicpal has no concept on how to manage his role in the development of children from many perspectives,lead his staff or take the time to speak with the parents about any concerns. The staff, especially, Mr. W. should be recognized for a "great job" because of his love for a high tech approach. However, most of his assignments equate to "parent homework". For example, "build a float". How is that child able to obtain those materials and creatively complete this project without assistance? And the worse part, I was told by Mr. W that in 4th grade, "the school does not focus on teaching spelling or creative writing. When will any Mapleshade students be taught to spell correctly?

I would tell anyone at all cost to avoid East Longmeadow for their child's education. Unfortunately, unless I want to move, which we all know is difficult, we are on the educational "Titanic" I feel I must warn other caring parents to avoid this town for their child's education and your high tax dollars don't support the school system.
