Summary

Calvin Coolidge School is a K–4 elementary school at 1 Florence Street in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, serving 287 students as part of Shrewsbury Public Schools, a district ranked 41st of 351 statewide (88th percentile, 4 stars). The school itself placed 259th of 899 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026 (71st percentile, 4 stars). It has been a consistent 4-star school, with percentile ranks mostly between 71 and 84 over the last decade, although the 2025 result is down from 79th in 2024–2025.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, Coolidge's all-grade proficiency was 48.39% in English language arts and 60.48% in math — comfortably above the state averages of 40.03% and 41.11%, but below the district averages of 57.52% and 65.51%. The gap is concentrated in 3rd grade, where ELA (42.62%) and math (49.18%) trail the district by roughly 19 percentage points in both subjects. Fourth grade is a clear strength: math reached 71.43%, matching the district and far above the state's 43.20%, while ELA came in at 53.97%. Spending was $14,400 per student in 2020–2021, and the student-teacher ratio was 12.8 in 2024–2025.

Compared with nearby schools, Coolidge is far stronger than most of its Worcester neighbors, where 2025 all-grade ELA ranged from 14.29% to 27.05% and math from 10.09% to 30.92%. The closest school, Lake View (0.57 miles away), is a Worcester standout: its ELA (48.05%) nearly matches Coolidge's, but its math (49.35%) is well behind, and Coolidge led in every overlapping 3rd- and 4th-grade test. Within Shrewsbury, Major Howard W. Beal School (1.42 miles, 623 students) currently posts higher overall results, but the two are nearly equal in 4th grade, with Beal's edge coming mostly from 3rd grade. School effectiveness ratings have been strong for low-income students and are improving for special education students, though several subgroups dipped in 2025 — worth watching alongside the recent ELA decline.
