Summary
Hobomock Elementary is a K–6 school in Pembroke, Massachusetts, serving 385 students in a South Shore community south of Boston, and it is one of three elementary schools in the Pembroke district, which ranks 136th of 351 districts statewide. In 2025–26, Hobomock ranked 406th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 55th percentile, or 3 stars — with a student–teacher ratio of 11.9 and per-student spending of $16,584 (2020–21). The school has slid over the long term, from the 84th percentile in 2015–16 to a recent low of 47th percentile (2 stars) in 2024–25, followed by a partial recovery this year.
Compared with neighbors, Hobomock is the lowest-ranked of Pembroke's three elementary schools: North Pembroke Elementary sits at the 76th percentile and Bryantville Elementary at 59th. Among K–6 peers nearby it also trails Dennett Elementary (77th) and Halifax Elementary (78th). By subject, ELA is a relative strength at 40.45% proficient, above both the district (38.27%) and state (40.03%). Math, at 48.64%, beats the state (41.11%) but falls below the district (53.72%) and is the lowest in Pembroke. Science is the clearest weakness: 38.3% proficient, below district and state and far behind North Pembroke (58.11%) and Bryantville (56.14%). Grade levels split too — 6th grade is strong (ELA 48.98%, math 59.18%), while 3rd grade (37.1% in both subjects) and 5th grade ELA (34.69%) lag.
Resources are notable: Hobomock's 11.9 student–teacher ratio is among the lowest in the area (only Alden School at 11.8 and Martinson Elementary at 11.7 are lower), and its spending exceeds North Pembroke and Bryantville, yet outcomes remain mid-range. Reported subgroup effectiveness ranks are 57th percentile for female students, 52nd for male students, 52nd for special education students, and 32nd for White students. Note that some nearby schools serve different grade spans, which can affect all-grade comparisons.
