Summary

Mabelle M Burrell is a PK–4 elementary school in Foxborough, Massachusetts, serving 339 students as part of Foxborough Public Schools, a district that ranks 88th of 351 in the state. In 2025–26 the school ranked 210th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 77th percentile, with 4 stars — placing it slightly above its own district. It has stayed above average for most of the past decade, though it has cooled from the 88th–89th percentile range it reached around 2019–2022.

Mathematics is the school's signature strength. Its all-grade math proficiency of 66.67% is 10.87 points above the Foxborough district and 25.56 points above the state, and it has held steady in the mid-to-high 60s for four years. ELA is a different story: at 50.43%, it is only 0.79 points above the district. That overall figure hides a sharp split — Grade 3 ELA is strong at 65.52%, while Grade 4 ELA is 35.59%, below both district and state and the lowest among nearby schools reporting Grade 4 ELA, including Charles Taylor Elementary (75%) and Vincent M Igo Elementary (42.86%). Because this is one grade in one year, it is worth watching rather than treating as permanent.

Compared with neighbors, Mabelle's math is competitive — close to Charles Taylor Elementary (68.93%) and Cottage Street (67.97%) — but its ELA trails the top performers in Sharon, such as Heights Elementary (67.28% ELA) and East Elementary (67.52%). Within Foxborough, Mabelle sits between Charles Taylor (93rd percentile) and Vincent M Igo (67th). Subgroup rankings for female and male students are near the school's overall 77th percentile, while Special Education (53rd) and low-income students (62nd) rank lower — an area to monitor. Classes are relatively small at 12.7 students per teacher, with per-student spending of $18,989 in 2020–21. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, and science results are unavailable because the tested grade falls outside this PK–4 school's span.
