Summary
Clyde F Brown is a PK–5 elementary school with 603 students in Millis, MA, serving as the town’s elementary school. In 2025–2026, it ranked 447th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — 50th percentile, 3 stars — while the Millis district ranked 127th of 351 (64th percentile, 3 stars). That is a decline from 2020–2021 and 2021–2022, when the school ranked around the 71st percentile with 4 stars, though it rebounded slightly from 45th percentile in 2024–2025.
On 2025–2026 MCAS, Clyde F Brown was near or slightly above state averages: ELA 39.93% vs. 40.03% statewide, math 42.45% vs. 41.11%, and science 46.34% vs. 40.98%. Compared with nearby tested schools, however, it trails substantially. In ELA and math, it is well behind Ralph Wheelock School in Medfield, Burke/Memorial Elementary School in Medway, Dale Street, and Freeman-Kennedy School in Norfolk. Grade-level results show grade 5 ELA at 32.53% (below the state’s 38.15%) and grade 3 math at 34% (below the state’s 42.19%), while grades 4 and 5 math are above state average.
Recent trends are mixed: ELA has fallen from 50.92% in 2022–2023 to 39.93%, math has slipped from 46.86% to 42.45%, and science peaked at 60.71% in 2023–2024 before falling to 46.34%. Resources do not appear to explain the gaps: per-student spending was $16,962 in 2020–2021 and the student-teacher ratio was 14.6:1, both mid-range among nearby schools. The school’s relatively strong performance for low-income and special education students is a positive counterpoint. Nearby districts such as Medfield (97th percentile), Norfolk (89th), Holliston (86th), and Medway (85th) rank higher than Millis (64th). Parents should watch grade 5 ELA, grade 3 math, and the recent science decline.
