Summary

Leroy Wood is a PK–5 elementary school at 60 Sconticut Neck Road in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, serving 428 students — the larger of the two elementaries in the Fairhaven district, on the South Coast next to New Bedford.

The school ranks 211th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025-2026 (77th percentile, 4 stars) and is the only 4-star school among the nearby schools compared here. It has held a 74th–80th percentile band for six straight reported years, up from the 51st percentile a decade ago. On 2025-2026 MCAS Next Generation, Leroy Wood scored 54.45% proficient in ELA, 60.73% in Math and 57.81% in Science — above the state and its own district in all three subjects. Its same-district sibling East Fairhaven, 1.38 miles away, posts 34.81% ELA, 38.61% Math and 38.46% Science, all below state averages. The gap to New Bedford schools is wider still: Irwin M. Jacobs Elementary School scored 7.39% in ELA, and Alfred J Gomes 8.66% in Math. James B Congdon and William H Taylor are notable exceptions among the New Bedford schools, but Leroy Wood still leads the group in ELA and Math.

What sets the school apart is how it gets those results: it carries the highest student-teacher ratio in the comparison group (13.9) and the lowest per-student spending ($14,218 in 2020-2021), yet posts the strongest outcomes. Its low-income students ranked in the 87th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, after the 95th and 96th in the two prior years, and its special education students have ranked in the 87th–90th range — above the school's own overall 77th percentile. Fourth grade is a clear standout at 68.85% ELA and 70.49% Math. Worth watching: third-grade ELA sits only slightly above district and state, science scores swing widely year to year, and the overall percentile has flattened. Spending figures are dated, and free/reduced-lunch data were not available.
