Summary

Crocker Elementary is a grade 1–5 public school at 200 Bigelow Dr in Fitchburg, MA, serving 610 students in the Fitchburg district, which ranks 325th of 351 Massachusetts districts (7th percentile, 0 stars). Crocker is a clear outlier within it: the school ranks 586th of 899 statewide (35th percentile, 2 stars), roughly five times the district's percentile standing, though it was a 74th-percentile, 4-star school back in 2016–17.

Among nearby schools, Crocker is the strongest Fitchburg elementary by a wide margin. Its 2025–26 MCAS proficiency rates — 29.9% ELA, 38.0% math, 30.7% science — beat Reingold Elementary (19.8/14.4/21.5) and McKay Elementary School (17.3/22.0/22.0), and top the district average in all three subjects. Math is the anchor, only about 3 points below the state's 41.1%, while ELA and science run roughly 10 points under state norms. Third-grade math (42.8%) matches the state average and is the highest among the Fitchburg elementaries. Relative effectiveness varies by student group: English learners, Hispanic students and African American students rank near the 70th percentile statewide (4 stars) and low-income students at the 57th (3 stars), while students with disabilities (25th percentile, 1 star) and male students (30th) are the weakest.

Results fell in every subject in 2025–26: ELA 33.2% to 29.9%, math 46.6% to 38.0%, science 36.5% to 30.7%. Regionally Crocker sits mid-pack to lower-mid, trailing Spaulding Memorial (63rd percentile), Johnny Appleseed (58th) and Turkey Hill Elementary School (52nd), close to Briggs Elementary (40th, with nearly identical science), and well ahead of Northwest (21st). Its resources are comparatively favorable — a student–teacher ratio of 11.7 and per-student spending of $16,006 in 2020–21 — yet outcomes don't reflect that edge. Literacy is the clearest gap: ELA has stayed at 29–34% for four straight years.
