Summary

Henri A. Yelle is a grade 4–5 elementary school in Norton, Massachusetts, enrolling 371 students as part of the Norton district. In 2025–26 it ranks 540th of 899 Massachusetts schools — 40th percentile, 2 stars — placing it in the bottom half of the state. That is a slight improvement over 2024–25 (37th percentile) but consistent with the school's long-run pattern of mostly 36th–47th percentile years; its 3-star, 62nd-percentile showing in 2020–21 stands out as an exception rather than a new normal.

Math is Yelle's relative strength: all-grade math proficiency is 37.08%, above the Norton district but below the state's 41.11%, while ELA (34.17%) and science (33.16%) trail both. The sharpest internal contrast is by grade — 4th grade math is 45.56%, above both district and state, but 5th grade math is 29.41%, roughly 10 percentage points below the state, and 5th grade science is likewise about 10 points behind. Within Norton, Yelle posts the highest all-grade math score of the three elementaries but the lowest ELA score, with L G Nourse Elementary stronger in reading and J C Solmonese weaker in math.

Compared with neighbors, Yelle outpaces the nearby Taunton elementaries — James L. Mulcahey Elementary School, Edmund Hatch Bennett, and Joseph C Chamberlain — but trails Jordan/Jackson Elementary in Mansfield by roughly 15 points in ELA, 19 in math, and 14 in science. Hyman Fine Elementary School and Peter Thacher Elementary School in Attleboro are also ahead, while Thomas Willett Elementary School is comparable in ELA and behind in math. On subgroup effectiveness, female students rank near the state median (46th percentile) and low-income students have improved to 43rd percentile, while male students sit at 34th. Yelle spent $16,757 per student in 2020–21, more than Taunton schools and J C Solmonese but less than Mansfield, yet its student-teacher ratio has risen to 13.5, now the highest among Norton elementaries.
