Summary
Littleville Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 260 students in Huntington, MA, part of the Gateway district.
In 2025–26, Littleville ranked 562 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools, putting it in the 37th percentile with 2 stars, almost exactly where the Gateway district sits as a whole (38th percentile, 2 stars). However, that district average hides big differences: same-district Chester Elementary ranks 82nd percentile with 4 stars and posts much higher ELA (52.5%) and math (67.5%) proficiency. Most nearby schools—such as New Hingham Regional Elementary, Southampton Road, R. K. Finn Ryan Road, Highland, and William E Norris—rank in the 50s–60s or higher, while Littleville is above only R. H. Conwell in the nearby group. Science is Littleville’s clearest strength: 52.78% proficiency, above the Gateway district (43.75%) and Massachusetts (40.98%), and competitive with most nearby schools. Math is the main weakness at 26.5%, below the district (35.87%) and state (41.11%). ELA is 32.48%, close to the district (33.13%) but below the state (40.03%). Grade-level results vary sharply: 4th grade is above the state in ELA and math, while 3rd-grade and 5th-grade math are far below. Long term, the school has fallen from 73rd percentile/4 stars in 2015–16 and has mostly stabilized in the 30s–40s rather than recovered.
Subgroup effectiveness is uneven. Low-income students rank 53rd percentile with 3 stars, above the school overall, but special education students were at 4th and 2nd percentiles with 0 stars in the two most recent reported years, with no 2024–25 or 2025–26 special-education rank available in the data. Resources do not obviously explain the results: per-student spending was $17,331 in 2020–21, in the middle of the nearby range, and the student-teacher ratio was 10.1, also moderate. Some nearby schools with lower spending or larger classes outperform Littleville, suggesting instructional, curricular, or cohort factors may matter more. The takeaway for parents: science is a genuine bright spot, but math, 3rd-grade foundational skills, and special-education support are the most urgent areas to ask about. You may want to ask how the school is addressing math interventions, early-grade reading and math, and services for students with disabilities.
