Summary

Floral Street School is a K–4 elementary school at 57 Floral Street in Shrewsbury, MA, serving 524 students and ranking 102nd of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 89th percentile, or 4 stars.

By the numbers, it is one of the strongest schools in its immediate area. Proficiency is 60.95% in English language arts and 70.95% in math — roughly 50% above the state rate — and it edges out its own district in both subjects, with math the clearer strength. Among nine nearby schools, Floral Street sits near the top in a virtual three-way tie with two smaller Shrewsbury neighbors, Spring Street School and Walter J. Paton School, and far ahead of schools in other districts: Lake View, in the Worcester district about 3.5 miles away, trails by roughly 12 points in ELA and 21 in math. It achieves this efficiently, spending $14,682 per student — near the bottom of the local range — while outranking every Northborough and Westborough peer. One unusual pattern: fourth graders post the best ELA (63.06%) and math (74.77%) results in the Shrewsbury cluster, while third grade (58.59% and 66.67%) is the one area below the district average.

The long-term picture is gradual drift rather than decline. A decade ago the school ranked in the top 3–4% of the state (31st of 932 in 2015–2016); it has since eased to the high-80s percentile and moved from 5 stars to 4 after 2023–2024, though the last three years suggest the slide may be stabilizing. Math proficiency fell from 76.3% to 70.95% while the district held steady, shrinking its math edge over the district from +11.0 to +5.4 points. Among student groups, special education students rank in the 93rd percentile — above the school's overall standing — while low-income students slipped from the 95th to the 83rd. Overall, a strong school, with relative movement the main thing to watch.
