Summary

Squantum is a K–5 elementary school serving 343 students in the Quincy district, a coastal city south of Boston, MA. In 2025–26, it ranked 482nd of 899 Massachusetts schools (46th percentile, 2 stars), while the district ranked 183rd of 351 districts (48th percentile, 2 stars). It was once top-quartile: 218th of 942 (77th percentile, 4 stars) in 2018–19 and 246th of 932 (74th percentile, 4 stars) in 2021–22, but has since slipped to the 68th, 53rd, 51st, and 46th percentiles. ELA is a relative strength; math and science are significant weaknesses.

Squantum’s ELA proficiency is 48.08, above the Quincy district average (42.85) and state average (40.03). Math is the lowest among the district’s K–5 comparison group: 34.62 versus district 43.03 and state 41.11. Science is the clearest red flag at 20.41, far below district 43.31 and state 40.98, and far below every district K–5 peer, including Wollaston School (72.22), Beechwood Knoll Elementary (67.27), and Montclair (64.06). Grade-level data show math starts near district/state in 3rd grade (41.82) but falls to 26.53 by 5th grade; 5th-grade science is 20.41. Student:teacher ratio is 13.7, and per-student spending is $16,656, mid-pack among district peers but below nearby schools in Boston such as Perry Elementary School ($29,129).

Subgroup effectiveness rankings are uneven: female students rank in the 54th percentile, male students in the 37th, and Special Education students in the 32nd; the Low Socio Economic Status group fell from the 81st–85th percentile in 2023–24 and 2024–25 to the 53rd in 2025–26. Nearby comparisons add context: Perry Elementary School is high-performing despite the Boston district’s low overall rank, while Murphy K-8 School has the same overall percentile as Squantum (46th) but lower ELA and math and higher science. The clearest improvement targets are upper-elementary math and science, plus subgroup gaps; grade-level percentages are based on small cohorts, so year-to-year swings are possible.
