Summary
George R Martin is a K–5 elementary school in Seekonk, MA, serving 443 students in the Seekonk district, which ranks 120 of 351 Massachusetts districts at the 66th percentile with 3 stars. In 2025-2026, it ranked 322 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools—64th percentile with 3 stars—down from 74th percentile in 2024-2025 and 82nd percentile with 4 stars in 2021-2022. Its MCAS Next Generation All Grades results were 46.15% proficient in ELA, 50.68% in math, and 50% in science, above state averages in all three subjects. It was above the Seekonk district in ELA, essentially even in math, and below the district in science.
The bigger concern is the recent trend. ELA fell from 52.23% to 46.15%, math from 59.38% to 50.68%, and science from 57.65% to 50% between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026; math is now well below its 2023-2024 high of 64.44%. Science is also the one subject where the school trails its district: 50% versus 54.8% for Seekonk, and Mildred Aitken School reported 54.46%. Grade-level results show strengths in grades 4 and 5, especially in math and ELA, while 3rd grade ELA lagged both district and state. Subgroup effectiveness shifted sharply: low socio-economic status students dropped from 96th percentile and 5 stars to 64th percentile and 3 stars, and special education students fell from 74th percentile and 4 stars to 35th percentile and 2 stars.
Compared with nearby schools, George R Martin remains one of the stronger local options, especially in ELA. Its 46.15% ELA proficiency matches Hyman Fine Elementary School and leads North Elementary, Joseph G Luther, Hill-Roberts Elementary School, Elizabeth S Brown, Mildred Aitken School, Palmer River, and South. In math, it trails North Elementary and South but leads most others. In science, it is behind Mildred Aitken School but ahead of several peers. Its student-teacher ratio, 11.9, is relatively favorable, and per-student spending, $16,459, is relatively high. The Seekonk district context is stronger than Attleboro, Somerset, Swansea, and Dighton-Rehoboth. The bottom line: above-state results and local advantages, but watch the multi-year decline, science dip versus district, 3rd grade ELA, and special education subgroup drop.
