Summary
Abbott Memorial is a public PK–8 school in Florida, MA, serving just 83 students, and it functions as essentially the whole Florida district, which ranks 340th of 351 districts statewide (3rd percentile). In 2025–2026 the school itself ranked 806th of 899 in Massachusetts (10th percentile, 1 star). Free and reduced-price lunch data are suppressed, so family-income context cannot be assessed from these figures.
Proficiency is below state averages in every core subject. In 2025–2026, 26.09% of Abbott students met expectations in English language arts, 22.73% in math, and 22.22% in science, against roughly 40% statewide in each — about 14 to 19 points behind. Fifth-grade math stands out: 7.14% proficient versus 39.50% statewide, meaning fewer than 1 in 10 Abbott fifth graders met expectations. Eighth-grade civics was 20% versus 39.16% statewide. Nearby, Williamstown Elementary (60.63% ELA, 55.00% math) and Lanesborough Elementary (45.38% ELA, 61.34% math) perform far better, though both sit in the higher-ranked Mount Greylock district and are farther away. Abbott's closest neighbors — Colegrove Park Elementary, Clarksburg Elementary, and Hoosac Valley Elementary School — are also below state average. Science is an exception in one year: 44.44% in 2024–25, above the state's 41.51%, before falling back.
Resources do not appear to explain the results. Abbott's student–teacher ratio was 5.1 in 2024–2025, far lower than Lanesborough (10.5) or Williamstown (10.4), and per-student spending of $20,960 in 2020–2021 is mid-to-high locally. Yet outcomes remain low, and the school's rank has fallen steadily from 362nd of 920 (61st percentile) in 2009–2010 to 806th of 899 today. With only 83 students, small cohorts can cause large year-to-year swings.
