SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 899 Massachusetts Elementary Schools

Better than 2% of Massachusetts elementary schools

Summary

West Street Elementary is a K–5 school with 323 students in Southbridge, MA, part of the Southbridge district, which ranks 344th of 351 districts in Massachusetts. The school itself ranks 883rd of 899 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026 — the 2nd percentile, with 0 stars. Its best recent statewide percentile was 10th in both 2015–2016 and 2016–2017; since then it has mostly ranked between the 0th and 6th percentile, including a low of 0th in 2022–2023. The current rank is a slight improvement, but still bottom-2% performance.

Proficiency is far below both district and state. In 2025–2026, West Street's all-grade rates were 11% in English Language Arts, 6.7% in math, and 4.05% in science — below the district (17.26%, 15.34%, 9.47%) and roughly 29–37 points below the state. Only Charlton Street, a same-district peer, is comparably low in ELA (10.69%). Nearby schools do much better: Brimfield Elementary posts 50.69% in ELA, 69.39% in math, and 61.54% in science, and Burgess Elementary exceeds state averages in all three subjects. Even Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School, itself below the state average, outperforms West Street by about 15 points in ELA and math and 24 points in science — arguably the most attainable local benchmark.

Notably, resources are not obviously scarce: per-student spending was $19,920 in 2020–2021 and the student-teacher ratio was 11.1 in 2024–2025, both better than many nearby schools, so low outcomes don't appear explained by unusually large classes or low funding. The English Language Learner subgroup ranks at the 43rd percentile and Special Education at the 25th percentile — well above the school's overall 2nd percentile, and both have improved over recent years. Most other subgroups, including low-income students, remain in the bottom few percent statewide. These are measures of school effectiveness, not student capability, and the gains in English learner and special education results suggest that targeted supports can make a difference.
