Summary

Robert Frost is a K–4 elementary school at 33 Hamlet Street in Lawrence, MA, serving 568 students in the Lawrence district. In 2025–26 it ranked 729th of 899 ranked Massachusetts elementary schools — the 19th percentile, 1 star. Over the past decade it has never left the bottom third of the statewide distribution and has never earned above 1 star, though it did climb from the 16th percentile in 2020–21 to the 29th in 2023–24 before sliding back.

The bright spot is math: Frost posted 39.27% and 36.74% math proficiency in 2023–24 and 2024–25, within 2 to 4 points of the state average and roughly double its own district's rate. That fell 9.3 points to 27.44% in 2025–26 while the state held near 41% — the same year its overall rank dropped. ELA has been flat for four years in a 21.9–24.2% band, about 17 points below the state. Measured against schools serving similar populations, the school looks stronger than its headline rank: 53rd percentile for its Hispanic students and 56th for its English learners in 2025–26, against 19th overall, though every subgroup has drifted down. Locally, Frost places 3rd of 6 ranked Lawrence district schools and 2nd in math, behind South Lawrence East Elementary School. The sharpest contrast is West Elementary in Andover, just 1.46 miles away: 80th percentile, 4 stars, with 54.40% ELA and 65.06% math.

Two narrower weaknesses stand out. Fourth grade math came in at 21.15%, 22 points below the state, and it is the only level where Frost falls sharply from 3rd grade (33.33%) to 4th while the state rises. Special education students ranked in the 9th percentile with 0 stars in 2024–25 and the 14th percentile in 2025–26, down from the 34th a year earlier. Frost spends $16,321 per student, below six of eight nearby Lawrence schools. Note that free/reduced-lunch figures were not reported for this school.
