Summary

George R Austin Intermediate School is a 3-star school serving 462 fourth and fifth graders in Lakeville, a small town in southeastern Massachusetts, as part of the Freetown-Lakeville district. In 2025–2026 it ranked #348 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 61st percentile — which is just below its district's #124 of 351 (65th percentile). The school's history is mostly middle-to-upper-middle: it reached 4 stars in 2017–2018, dipped to the 54th percentile in 2024–2025, then rebounded to 61st in 2025–2026, still shy of its 68th percentile in 2023–2024.

Math and science are this school's calling cards. In 2025–2026 MCAS results, 50.69% of students were proficient in math and 53.13% in science, both well above state averages (41.11% and 40.98%) and at or slightly above district results. Science stands out most, at more than 12 points above the state. English language arts is the clear area to watch: 38.62% proficiency is slightly below both the district and the state (40.03%). The gap between grades is striking — 4th graders hit 57.62% in math versus 44.25% for 5th graders, and 4th grade ELA (41.43%) also beats 5th grade (36.00%), which falls below both district and state.

Compared with nearby schools, George R Austin outperforms Henry B. Burkland Elementary School, East Taunton Elementary, Casimir Pulaski and Elwyn G Campbell, but trails Rochester Memorial and Acushnet Elementary School, and lags in ELA behind Berkley Community School and Mary K. Goode Elementary School. The district's younger-grade schools, Assawompset Elementary School and Freetown Elementary School, post higher ELA and math scores, though they serve different grades and cohorts. The school's work with low-income students is a genuine strength (86th percentile), while special education results sit near the middle (49th percentile).
