Summary
Kittredge is a grade 1–5 elementary school at 601 Main Street in North Andover, MA, serving 211 students as part of the North Andover district, which ranks 126th of 351 Massachusetts districts (about the 64th percentile) with a 3-star rating. Staffing is stable: the student-teacher ratio was 11.7 in 2024-2025, after 11.8 in both prior years. The latest per-student spending figure available is $15,510 in 2020-2021, up about 10.5% over two years from $14,035 in 2018-2019. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, so that context is unknown rather than zero.
On 2024-2025 MCAS Next Generation tests, Kittredge beat both benchmarks in nearly every measure. ELA proficiency was 57.02% (district 47.23%, state 41.53%); math was 60.33% (district 52.39%, state 40.74%); science was 47.62%. The district's all-grade science figure of 49.48% includes other grades, but in the same-grade 5th-grade comparison Kittredge's 47.62% still edges the district's 46.22% and the state's 45.83%. Fourth-grade math, at 70.73%, is the strongest single result, and 3rd-grade ELA at 68.42% beats the state by 25.94 points. Fifth grade has the narrowest margins: ELA 45.24%, math 52.38%, science 47.62% — above benchmarks, but by much less.
The key trend is a narrowing advantage. Since 2022-2023, all-grade proficiency fell in every subject: ELA from 72.31% to 57.02%, math from 83.08% to 60.33%, and science from 67.31% to 47.62% — drops of 15.29, 22.75, and 19.69 points respectively. ELA rebounded 6.65 points from 2023-2024, but math and science declined two years running, and Kittredge's math lead over the state shrank from +42.48 points to +19.59. Science is the weakest relative subject and the clearest area for attention. Because no nearby-school records were available, comparisons are limited to the district and state.
