Summary
Brophy is a K–5 elementary school in Framingham, MA, serving 504 students, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 789th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 12th percentile, with a 1-star rating — inside a Framingham district that also ranks near the bottom statewide at 310th of 351.
On 2025–2026 MCAS, 20.25% of Brophy students met expectations in ELA (district 24.25%, state 40.03%), 15.13% in math (district 21.23%, state 41.11%), and 29.33% in science (district 26.97%, state 40.98%). Math is the biggest concern — nearly 26 percentage points below the state — and it is weak at every grade tested: 17.28% in 3rd, 13.58% in 4th, and 14.47% in 5th. Science is the relative bright spot: it is the only subject where Brophy beats the district, and it climbed from 13.46% in 2022–2023, though it is still about 12 points below the state.
Compared with nearby schools, Brophy sits near the bottom of its local group. It outperforms Miriam F McCarthy School and Barbieri Elementary in all three subjects but trails Mary E Stapleton Elementary, Potter Road, King Elementary School, Charlotte A Dunning, and Hemenway, as well as out-of-district neighbors Francis J Kane, David Mindess, and Albert S. Woodward Memorial School. Extra resources are not the whole story: Brophy spent $20,320 per student in 2020–2021, more than several higher-performing neighbors, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.9 is smaller than several of theirs. Brophy's relative effectiveness for low-income students is very low (2nd percentile), while its English Language Learner results jumped to the 53rd percentile in 2025–2026 from the 4th percentile the year before — a striking change worth watching. The school has stayed in the bottom fifth of the state for a decade.
