Summary

Leverett Elementary is a small PK–6 school in Leverett, MA, serving 137 students in a rural area near Amherst, and it is the only school in the Leverett district. For 2025–2026, it ranks 332nd of 899 ranked Massachusetts elementary schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars), while the Leverett district ranks 141st of 351 districts (60th percentile, 3 stars). The school’s recent history is unusually up-and-down: percentiles have ranged from 34th in 2021–2022 to 85th in 2017–2018, with a strong 75th percentile in 2024–2025 followed by 63rd in 2025–2026.

Academically, Leverett’s 2025–2026 all-grade results are strong in ELA (59.42%) and math (51.43%), both above the state (40.03% and 41.11%) and above the nearby average. Science is the clear outlier at 31.58%, which is below the state’s 40.98% and the lowest among nearby schools. Grade-level results show big differences: 4th grade scored 70% in both ELA and math, and 6th grade scored 77.78% ELA and 83.33% math, both top among nearby schools. But 3rd grade math was 23.08%, and 5th grade was 27.78% ELA, 21.05% math, and 31.58% science—all below state and mostly at the bottom of the nearby group. Because science is tested only in grade 5, that score can swing sharply with one small cohort; it went from 83.33% in 2024–2025 to 31.58% in 2025–2026.

Among nearby schools, Shutesbury Elementary and Pelham Elementary are the strongest small peers, while Leverett Elementary sits in the upper-middle—above most other nearby districts such as Whately, Deerfield, Hatfield, and Sunderland, but behind Amherst. Resources look favorable: a student-teacher ratio of 8.7 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $24,524 in 2020–2021, both better than the nearby average. Yet results remain uneven by subject and cohort, suggesting the main challenge is consistency—especially math in lower grades and science in grade 5—rather than basic staffing or funding.
