Summary

Fannie E Proctor is a K–5 elementary school in Northborough, MA, with 238 students, in the Northborough area near Shrewsbury and Westborough. In 2025–26 it ranked 208th of 899 elementary schools statewide — 77th percentile, 4 stars — placing it in the upper quartile and slightly above its district’s percentile rank. The Northborough district ranks 86th of 351 districts (75th percentile, 4 stars). MCAS proficiency was 53.91% in ELA, 58.77% in math, and 53.66% in science. All three are above the state average; ELA and math are above the district average, while science is above the state but slightly below district. The school recovered from 38th percentile, 2 stars in 2015–16 and peaked at 84th percentile in 2024–25.

Within Northborough, Fannie E Proctor is second of four elementary schools by 2025–26 overall rank, behind Lincoln Street, which outperformed it in all three subjects. In math, Proctor is third, with Lincoln Street and Marion E Zeh scoring slightly higher; in science, it is third behind Lincoln Street and Marguerite E Peaslee. Proctor has the smallest enrollment in this group and the highest per-student spending among Northborough schools, $20,754 in 2020–21, with a 12.0 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25. Nearby, Proctor’s 2025–26 ELA and math results trail most listed Shrewsbury and Westborough schools, except Elsie A Hastings Elementary; Shrewsbury district is higher-ranked than Northborough, and some grade spans differ.

Mathematics is Proctor’s most reliable strength: it was above the district average every year from 2022–23 through 2025–26. ELA improved and was above district in 2024–25 and 2025–26. Science is the clearest watch area, swinging from −11.25 points versus district in 2022–23 to +7.60 in 2024–25, then −2.17 in 2025–26. Fifth grade outperformed the district in ELA (+8.51), math (+6.01), and science (+0.63), while 3rd and 4th grade were slightly below district in ELA and math. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: ranked 1st of 142 for Asian students in 2024–25 (99th percentile), and 45th of 736 for low-SES students (94th percentile), while special education slipped to 57th percentile in 2025–26. Overall, Proctor remains solid, but 2025–26 will show whether this is a one-year dip or a broader trend.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, January 22, 2010

I've had one child go through Proctor and is now in middle school. Overall the teachers are just average. The teachers in the lower grades tend to be more dynamic than the ones in 3-5. I now have a 3rd grader and am not thrilled with the extent of the curriculum and have heard that there is "no math curriculum" which is ridiculous! The enrichment program is somewhat lacking as well. They have scored very average on MCAS and are weak in Math. Close Quote
