Summary

Milton Fuller Roberts is a public elementary school in Medford, MA, serving 586 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Medford district, which has a 2-star rating and ranks in the 40th percentile statewide.

This school has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from a low point in 2015 to a stable, mid-range performance level. Its strongest subject is Science, where it outperforms both the district and state averages with a 42.31% proficiency rate. However, Mathematics is a significant challenge, with only 27.48% of students proficient—well below the state average of 40.74%. The school also demonstrates a notable strength in serving its Hispanic students, who rank in the 60th percentile statewide, while performance for other subgroups is lower. Within the Medford district, Milton Fuller Roberts sits in the middle of the pack, outperforming the nearby John J McGlynn Elementary School (29th percentile) but significantly behind the Brooks School (80th percentile), which has nearly double the proficiency rates in all subjects despite similar funding and class sizes.

Compared to schools in neighboring districts, Milton Fuller Roberts performs well above those in the lower-ranked Everett district, such as the Madeline English School (6th percentile), but is dramatically outperformed by schools in the high-performing Arlington district, like the Thompson School (80th percentile). This context highlights how the school's ranking is influenced by the surrounding community, while its own decade-long upward trend suggests effective, sustained improvement efforts are in place.
