Summary

Reingold Elementary is a grade 1–5 school in Fitchburg, MA, serving 679 students in a district ranked 325 of 351 Massachusetts districts, at the 7th percentile with 0 stars.

In 2025–2026, Reingold ranks 821 of 899 elementary schools statewide, at the 9th percentile with 0 stars — the bottom 10% of the state. That is a sharp decline from the 34th percentile in 2022–2023. Test results are far below state averages: 19.82% proficiency in English language arts versus 40.03% statewide, 21.50% in science versus 40.98%, and 14.41% in math versus 41.11%. Math is the clearest weakness — the school's rate is roughly one-third of the state average, and 5th grade math is especially low at 9.26%. ELA is also below the Fitchburg district's rate of 21.81%, while science is essentially even with the district's 21.75%.

Other Fitchburg schools with comparable data show higher results: Crocker Elementary is at the 35th percentile with 2 stars and 37.97% math proficiency, and McKay Elementary School is at the 13th percentile with higher math but slightly lower ELA. Nearby out-of-district schools generally outperform Reingold, including Johnny Appleseed in Leominster (58th percentile, 3 stars), plus Briggs Elementary, Westminster Elementary, and Frances Drake School in the 37th–40th percentile range. Spending ($15,412 per student in 2020–2021) and class size (12.5 students per teacher) are similar to nearby schools, so they don't obviously explain the results. Every reported student subgroup is below the state median.
