Summary
Mildred Aitken School is a PK–5 elementary school in Seekonk, MA, serving 578 students in a suburban community just east of Providence, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 373 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 59th percentile with 3 stars. That places it slightly below its own district, Seekonk, which ranks 120 of 351 districts (66th percentile, 3 stars), and behind its same-district peer George R Martin (64th percentile). Aitken's rank has fallen steadily: 89th percentile in 2020–2021, 77th in 2022–2023, 70th in 2023–2024, 62nd in 2024–2025, and 59th now.
Aitken's profile is math- and science-strong but ELA-weak. Math proficiency is 50.18% (9.07 points above the state's 41.11%) and science is 54.46% (13.48 points above the state's 40.98%); both sit essentially at district levels. ELA, though, is 37.68% — 7.16 points below the district and 2.35 points below the state. Third grade math is the standout at 55.42% proficient, 6.04 points above district and 13.23 points above state. Fourth grade ELA is the clearest concern at 28.57%, which is 7.96 points below district, 8.86 points below state, and 20 points below George R Martin's 48.57%. Fifth grade science, at 54.46%, also beats Martin's 50.00%.
Proficiency has declined in all three subjects since 2022–2023: ELA from 53.69% to 37.68%, math from 59.84% to 50.18%, and science from 73.17% to 54.46%. Among nearby schools, Falls in North Attleborough (75th percentile) and Amvet Boulevard post higher science scores, while Aitken's math beats every nearby Attleboro school in the comparison set. Special education students rank in the 73rd percentile and low-SES students in the 67th — both above the school overall — though the low-SES rank fell from the 90th percentile a year earlier. Spending is $16,198 per student with a 13:1 ratio, so resources alone do not explain the ELA gap.
