Summary

Annie L Sargent School is a public elementary school in North Andover, MA, serving grades 1 through 5 with 441 students as part of the North Andover district, which ranks 126th of 351 Massachusetts districts. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 290th of 899 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 68th percentile with 3 stars. That is a big step up from 2016–2017, when it sat at the 53rd percentile; it peaked at the 74th percentile in 2020–2021 and has settled just below that level since.

Test scores are above the state average in all three subjects. In 2025–2026, 48.47% of students met or exceeded expectations in ELA (versus 44.69% in the district and 40.03% statewide), 50.98% in math (versus 51.59% district and 41.11% state), and 56.14% in science (versus 45.47% district and 40.98% state). Science is the standout strength — the highest among same-district grade 1–5 peers. Math splits by grade: 3rd grade scored 40.77%, below the district's 48.96% and the state's 42.19%, while 4th grade (55.26%) and 5th grade (58.41%) were above both.

Compared with other North Andover elementaries, Sargent trails Franklin (71st percentile, 4 stars) in overall rank, mainly because Franklin's math score is 61.83% versus Sargent's 50.98%; Sargent has higher ELA and much higher science. It outperforms Thomson and Atkinson in all three subjects. Nearby Andover schools West Elementary and Bancroft Elementary rank higher (80th percentile) but spend far more per student. Lawrence schools such as Robert Frost and South Lawrence East Elementary School rank far lower. Sargent spent $14,672 per student in 2020–2021 — less than every nearby school compared — with a student–teacher ratio of 13.4, higher than most of them.

For families of students with special needs, the school's effectiveness ranking was 70th percentile in 2025–2026, and results for low-income students have swung widely across years, so those figures are worth watching rather than treating as fixed.
