Barbieri Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments compared to the Framingham district and state averages. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Massachusetts schools for Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Dunning and King Elementary, perform significantly better than Barbieri Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Schools in the neighboring Ashland district, such as David Mindess, also outperform Barbieri Elementary, suggesting that the challenges faced by Barbieri may be specific to the Framingham district or the school itself.

One of the only public bilingual immersion program schools in Massachusetts. Great work with marginal populations and with talented children. Staffing and services are available and administration is caring and works with parents. Close Quote
