Summary

Marguerite E Peaslee is a K–5 elementary school serving 267 students in Northborough, a suburban town in central Massachusetts, and it is part of the Northborough district. In 2025–26, Peaslee ranked 260th of 899 elementary schools statewide — the 71st percentile, or 4 stars — placing it solidly above state averages but below its own earlier peak, when it sat in the 84th–87th percentile from 2016–17 through 2021–22 before slipping to 74th in 2023–24 and 69th in 2024–25.

Academically, Marguerite E Peaslee posted all-grade proficiency of 50.35% in ELA, 53.85% in math, and 54.17% in science, above state figures in all three subjects. Against its own district, though, it is only slightly ahead in ELA and slightly behind in math and science — a meaningful distinction in a strong district. Results vary by grade: 3rd grade ELA, 5th grade math, and 5th grade science are clear strengths, while 3rd grade math runs nearly 15 percentage points below the district and 4th grade ELA about 9 points below. The school's standout subgroup result is special education, ranked in the 94th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–26 and similarly high in earlier years, while male students have consistently outranked female students over the past three years.

Among Northborough's four elementaries, Peaslee is mid-pack: Lincoln Street (81st percentile) and Fannie E Proctor (77th) rank higher, with Marion E Zeh close behind. Nearby Shrewsbury schools — Walter J. Paton School, Spring Street School, and Floral Street School — sit around the 88th–90th percentile with math proficiency in the 70s. Peaslee spends more per student ($19,097 in 2020–21) than those Shrewsbury schools, and its student-teacher ratio has risen from 10.7 to 12.2.
