Summary

Spring Street School is a K–4 elementary school serving 304 students in Shrewsbury, MA, part of the Shrewsbury school district in central Massachusetts. In 2025–2026 it ranked 86th of 899 elementary schools statewide — the 90th percentile, 5 stars — placing it in the top 10% of Massachusetts elementary schools. Its history is notable: from 2015–2016 through 2021–2022 it was consistently a top-5 school statewide, then slipped to 43rd, 69th, and 151st before rebounding to 86th this year. That is a meaningful recovery, though still below its earlier peak.

Math is the clear signature strength. Overall math proficiency is 76.42%, well above the district's 65.51% and the state's 41.11%, and the strength is broad: 3rd-grade math is 82.54%, and even 4th-grade math is 70.00%. ELA overall is a solid 61.79%, but it splits sharply by grade — 3rd-grade ELA is 73.02%, while 4th-grade ELA is 50.00%, below the district's 54.85% and a relative weak spot worth watching.

Among nearby schools, Spring Street has the highest overall 2025–2026 rank and the highest math proficiency of the group. Walter J. Paton School is the closest competitor, with higher ELA (66.09%) and stronger 3rd-grade results, while Floral Street School, Major Howard W. Beal School, and Calvin Coolidge School rank lower. One item to monitor: Spring Street has the highest student–teacher ratio among nearby schools at 14.4 in 2024–2025, up from 12.2 the year before, while per-student spending of $15,414 in 2020–2021 is mid-range. Subgroup results are strong where available, including the 94th percentile for female students and 86th for male students, with improved rankings for Asian and White students. Free/reduced-lunch data is not available, so socioeconomic composition cannot be assessed.
