Summary

Beatrice H Wood Elementary is Plainville's upper-elementary school, serving 331 students in grades 3–6 at 72 Messenger Street in Plainville, MA, one of two schools in the Plainville district and 0.1 miles from its PK–2 feeder, Anna Ware Jackson. In 2025–2026, it ranked 353rd of 899 ranked Massachusetts elementary schools — the 61st percentile and 3 stars. It has been a consistent 3-star school for a decade, recovering from a 2-star year in 2018–19 but never reaching 4-star territory. Because its tested grades essentially represent the district's MCAS results, its performance tracks closely with Plainville overall.

Math is the school's clear engine. In 2025–26, 57.14% of students met or exceeded expectations in math, about 16 points above the state and near the top of the local peer group — behind only Charles Taylor Elementary (68.93) and Delaney (67.48), and essentially tied with Vincent M Igo Elementary (57.32). The standout is 6th-grade math: 75.95% proficient, roughly 33 points above the state. English language arts is more average, at 41.72, only 1.7 points above the state, and 4th- and 5th-grade ELA are the school's only below-state results. Science is the concern: 33.87% proficient is about 7 points below the state and last among six nearby schools reporting it, including Falls (65.79) and Amvet Boulevard (69.23).

Compared with nearby schools, Beatrice H Wood Elementary is a clear second-tier performer: well ahead of Thomas Willett Elementary School and Community, but behind Charles Taylor Elementary and Falls. The closest out-of-district benchmark, Joseph W Martin Junior Elementary, shows Wood ahead in math by nearly 17 points, behind in ELA, and sharply behind in science. Subgroup results show male students, low-income students, and special education students ranking at or above the school's overall 61st percentile, while the school's overall trend has plateaued in the 52nd–67th percentile band for four years. Breaking into 4 stars would likely require strengthening middle-grade ELA or stabilizing grade-5 science rather than relying on math alone. Per-pupil spending was $15,319 in 2020–21, below Anna Ware Jackson in the same year, with a student–teacher ratio of 12.9 in 2024–25.
