Summary

F A Cleveland is a public elementary school in Norwood, MA serving 339 students in grades 1–4, part of Norwood Public Schools, a district ranked 234th of 351 in Massachusetts. The school itself ranked 468th of 899 in 2025–2026, placing it at the 48th percentile — roughly the middle of Massachusetts schools.

Math is the clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 46.49% of students were proficient in math, well above the Norwood district average of 32.28% and above the state's 41.11%, and the highest among Norwood's grades 1–4 elementaries (John P Oldham, Cornelius M Callahan, Charles J Prescott, and Balch). English language arts is the weak spot: 35.96% proficient, slightly below the district and 4.07 points below the state, and third among those same schools. That is a reversal from 2023–2024, when the school was above district and state in every reported subject.

The bigger story is a steady slide. F A Cleveland has fallen from a 4-star, 73rd-percentile school in 2023–2024 to 2 stars and 48th percentile in 2025–2026. ELA dropped about 15 points and math about 11 points over two years, and science fell from 67.92% to 52.86%. The decline shows up across several student groups, with special education students falling from the 86th to the 43rd percentile, while English learners remain a relative bright spot at the 72nd percentile. By contrast, nearby Westwood schools Downey and Martha Jones, and Walpole's Old Post Road, post proficiency rates 30–46 points higher. Spending is in line with Norwood peers, though the student-teacher ratio has risen and is now the highest among Norwood's grades 1–4 elementaries. Note that science data for 2025–2026 is unavailable, and free/reduced-lunch data is suppressed.
