Summary

Staff Sargent James J. Hill Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 615 students in Revere, MA, a city just north of Boston, and it is the third-largest of the five Revere elementary schools in this comparison. It carries a 1-star rating and ranked 701st of 899 ranked Massachusetts schools in 2025–26 (22nd percentile) — the lowest point in a decade-long slide from the 61st percentile in 2015–16, with a level drop after 2019–20 that has persisted for six straight reporting years.

Science is the school's standout strength. At 35.24% proficiency, Hill's science score is the highest of the five Revere elementaries by a wide margin, beating the district rate of 22.83% and landing only about 5.7 points below the state. The 5th grade is the engine behind that: it leads its Revere peers in both math (28.57%) and science (35.24%) and is second in English Language Arts. In state rankings that compare schools with similar student populations, Hill's Hispanic students sit at the 61st percentile (3 stars) and low-income students at the 44th–50th percentile (2–3 stars), both well above the school's overall standing. Hill also manages this on the second-lowest per-pupil spending in the comparison group — $15,373 — with a favorable 10.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio.

English Language Arts is the clearest weakness. At 20.2%, Hill is the lowest of the five Revere elementaries and roughly half the state rate, having slipped 11 points in three years. The 4th grade is the drag, posting the lowest math score among Revere peers. Special education students have ranked between the 16th and 23rd percentile for three straight years with no upward movement. Among nearby schools, Bradley Elementary School in Boston posts roughly double to triple Hill's rates while spending 74% more per student, and William A Berkowitz Elementary and Edgar F. Hooks Elementary in Chelsea show unusually strong math alongside below-state reading. Within Revere, Garfield Elementary School and Paul Revere rank slightly ahead, while A. C. Whelan Elementary School and Abraham Lincoln rank slightly behind.
