Better than 15% of Massachusetts elementary schools

Summary

Glickman Elementary is a PK–5 school in Springfield, MA, serving 310 students as part of Springfield Public Schools, a district ranked 322 of 351 in Massachusetts.

In 2025–2026, Glickman ranked 761 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 15th percentile — earning 1 star. Its all-grade MCAS proficiency was 20.16% in ELA, 22.66% in math, and 25.58% in science, below state averages (40.03%, 41.11%, 40.98%) in every subject. Against Springfield, the picture is mixed: Glickman is below the district in ELA (22.09%) but above it in math (17.37%) and science (20.9%). Math is a relative strength and ELA the clearest weakness — 5th-grade ELA was 16.28%, versus the district's 25.9%. The brightest spot is 3rd-grade math at 29.73%, above the district's 24.34%. Nearby schools span a wide range: Frederick Harris (46.70% ELA) and Warner (57.50% math) rank at the 59th and 61st percentiles, while Hiram L Dorman, Arthur T Talmadge, and Thomas M Balliet sit near Glickman's level. Glickman's 20.16% ELA is the lowest among these nearby schools.

Resources do not appear to be the main constraint: Glickman's per-pupil spending of $20,454 (2020–2021) is the highest among the nearby schools shown, and its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 9.8 is lower than most, yet overall achievement remains in the bottom 15% statewide. Subgroup results are uneven: Glickman ranked at the 69th percentile for Hispanic students (3 stars) and 37th for low-income students in 2025–2026, well above its overall 15th percentile, and reached the 88th percentile for English Language Learner students in 2023–2024; special education students ranked 29th percentile, and male students 14th percentile. The longer trend is flat with recent swings — Glickman has hovered between the 9th and 26th percentiles, improving to 26th in 2024–2025 before slipping to 15th in 2025–2026. Science spiked to 43.48% in 2024–2025 before falling back to 25.58%.
