Summary

Charles Taylor Elementary is a K–4 school at 196 South Street in Foxborough, MA, serving 278 students — the smallest of the three elementary schools in the Foxborough district, which ranks 88th of 351 Massachusetts districts. The school's story is one of steady improvement: it has climbed from the 57th percentile statewide in 2018–19 to the 93rd percentile in 2025–26, ranking 61st of 899 elementary schools and earning 5 stars, up from 3 stars in 2018–19. That is five consecutive years of rising rank.

Test scores are the clearest evidence. In 2025–26 MCAS, 70.87% of Taylor students met or exceeded expectations in ELA and 68.93% in math, versus 49.64% and 55.80% across the district and 40.03% and 41.11% statewide. Taylor's ELA result is the highest of any nearby comparison school — ahead of Heights Elementary, a 5-star school that posts 67.28% in ELA but 77.86% in math. Within Foxborough, Taylor leads Mabelle M Burrell by 20.4 points in ELA and Vincent M Igo by 25.7 points, though its math edge is much smaller. Taylor's 4th grade outperforms its 3rd grade in both subjects, the reverse of the pattern at most neighboring schools.

Subgroup results are strong across the board: female students rank in the 98th percentile of 869 schools, and the low-income subgroup reached the 96th percentile (5 stars) in the one year the state reported it. Class sizes are small (11.3 students per teacher) and per-student spending is $19,361. Two data notes: no science scores exist, because science is tested in grade 5 and Taylor ends at grade 4, and free/reduced-lunch figures are suppressed by the state. Math remains the clearest area for growth.
