Summary

North Brookfield Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in North Brookfield, MA, with 274 students. The school is part of the North Brookfield school district, which is ranked 322 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Brookfield Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.18% of North Brookfield students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.53%. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 601-837 out of 932-942 Massachusetts elementary schools over the past 10 years, and has consistently been rated 1-2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. North Brookfield Elementary also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with its White students ranking in the bottom 5% of Massachusetts elementary schools, and its special education and low-socioeconomic status students ranking in the bottom third.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spending more per student ($17,466 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, North Brookfield Elementary's academic performance has declined over the past 10 years. Nearby schools like Paxton Center, Brookfield Elementary, and East Brookfield Elementary generally outperform North Brookfield Elementary on MCAS assessments and have higher statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations. Addressing the challenges faced by North Brookfield Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the school's underperformance.
