Summary

Milton Bradley School is a PK–5 elementary school at 22 Mulberry Street in Springfield, MA, serving 385 students as part of the Springfield district. For 2025–2026 it ranks 751 of 899 Massachusetts schools (16th percentile, 1 star) — its highest percentile in the past decade, but still within the bottom 16% of the state. The Springfield district as a whole ranks 322 of 351 districts (8th percentile, 0 stars), so the comparisons below are mostly school-to-school within a challenging local context.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, Milton Bradley scored 25.48% in ELA, 19.11% in math, and 21.15% in science — above the district average in all three subjects, but far below the state averages of roughly 40%. ELA is the clear relative bright spot: the school's 25.48% ranks third among nearby tested schools, behind only Edward P. Boland School and Sumner Avenue, and 5th-grade ELA (32.69%) is above the district and close to the state. Math and science are the gaps: math places sixth among nearby schools, with Sumner Avenue, Elias Brookings, Boland, and Kensington International School all ahead, and science ranks seventh, about 9 points below the nearby average.

Subgroup results are the most striking part of the picture. Even though the school's overall rank is the 16th percentile, its effectiveness rank for African American students is the 73rd percentile (4 stars) and for Hispanic students the 53rd percentile (3 stars). Special Education (45th percentile) and Low Socio Economic Status (37th percentile) ranks are also improving, while male students remain lower at the 9th percentile. In 2020–2021, per-student spending was $17,736 — the lowest among nearby schools — yet Milton Bradley was not the lowest performer, which may suggest some efficiency, though that spending data is several years old. Free/reduced lunch figures were blank in the recent years provided.
