Summary

Glover is a K–5 elementary school in Milton, Massachusetts, serving 593 students as part of the Milton school district, which ranks 35th of 351 Massachusetts districts (90th percentile, 5 stars). In 2025–2026, Glover ranked 99th of 899 elementary schools statewide — the 89th percentile, with 4 stars.

On MCAS, Glover's all-grade proficiency was 64.65% in English language arts, 66.56% in math, and 70.24% in science, roughly 25–29 percentage points above state averages, slightly above the Milton district in ELA and math, and essentially tied in science. Among Milton peers, Glover has the highest ELA proficiency, is essentially tied with Collicot in math and Cunningham School in science, and clearly leads Tucker, which trails most noticeably in science. Grades 4 and 5 are especially strong — the highest 4th-grade ELA (65.81%), highest 4th-grade math (72.03%), and highest 5th-grade math (71.76%) among Milton elementary schools. Grade 3 is the relative soft spot (ELA 61.46%, math 55.21%), below district and peer averages but still comfortably above the state. Science is a signature strength, and math rebounded from 62.38% in 2024–2025 to 66.56% in 2025–2026.

Nearby Boston schools such as Shaw-Taylor Elementary School, Chittick Elementary School, Lee Academy, and Mildred Avenue K-8 School score far lower on MCAS, though these cross-district comparisons don't control for demographics, socioeconomic factors, or programs. Glover also spends less per student ($14,244 in 2020–2021) than its Milton peers, and its subgroup results are broadly strong, including 84th percentile for special education students and steady gains for low-income students (61st percentile in 2022–2023 to 88th in 2024–2025). While Glover is no longer at its 2017–2019 peak, it remains a consistently top-decile school.
