Summary

Potter Road Elementary School is a public school in Framingham, Massachusetts, serving 535 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. According to the data, Potter Road is ranked 710 out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Potter Road's academic performance is a significant concern, with consistently lower proficiency rates on MCAS Next Generation assessments compared to the Framingham district and Massachusetts state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.82% of Potter Road students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 25.36% in Framingham and 41.53% statewide. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 399 out of 914 in 2014-2015 to 710 out of 906 in 2024-2025.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Framingham district, such as Miriam F. McCarthy School, King Elementary School, and Charlotte A. Dunning, also perform poorly on MCAS assessments, with proficiency rates similar to or lower than Potter Road. In contrast, schools in the neighboring Sudbury and Wayland districts, such as Peter Noyes and Happy Hollow School, significantly outperform Potter Road and the Framingham district on academic measures, with proficiency rates well above the state average.
