Summary

North Brookfield Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 240 students in North Brookfield, MA, a small town in central Massachusetts. In 2025–26 the school ranked 587th of 899 Massachusetts schools (35th percentile, 2 stars), up from 731st of 906 (19th percentile) the year before. Proficiency was 25.47% in ELA, 36.45% in math, and 42.5% in science. Worth noting: the school ranks higher than its own district, North Brookfield, which sits at 314th of 351 (11th percentile, 1 star) — the weakest district rank among nearby communities.

Compared with neighboring schools, ELA is the clearest weakness. At 25.47%, it is the second-lowest locally, above only Wire Village School (24.29%) and well behind Leicester Elementary (31.96%), Paxton Center (41.18%), Brookfield Elementary (46.88%), and the state (40.03%). Math (36.45%) is mid-pack locally but still below the state (41.11%). Science (42.5%) is a relative bright spot — above the state (40.98%) and its district (30.43%) — though West Brookfield Elementary (62.16%) and Brookfield Elementary (58.54%) score higher. Brookfield Elementary, roughly 4.5 miles away, outperforms in all three subjects.

Three-year improvement is real: ELA rose from 15.11% to 25.47%, math from 31.88% to 36.45%, and science from 17.65% to 42.5%. Low-income students ranked 135th of 742 (82nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26, a sharp jump from the 16th percentile that is worth watching for consistency. In the most recent data, female students (23rd percentile) and special education students (19th percentile) ranked lower. Class sizes are relatively small at 11.4 students per teacher, with $17,466 spent per student in 2020–21 — favorable inputs locally. Grade 3 ELA and math lag state norms most, while grade 4 math and grade 5 science are closest to them.
