Summary

Daniel B Brunton Elementary is a PK–5 school at 1801 Parker Street in Springfield, Massachusetts, serving 314 students in the Springfield district, which ranks 322nd of 351 districts statewide.

Brunton's central story is a consistent advantage over its own district that still leaves it well behind the state. In 2025–2026, 27.27% of students met proficiency in ELA, 22.45% in math and 28.13% in science, compared with district rates of 22.09%, 17.37% and 20.90%. That puts Brunton roughly 5–7 points ahead of Springfield in every subject, but 13 points behind Massachusetts in ELA and science and nearly 19 points behind in math. Statewide, the school ranked 709th of 899 (21st percentile, 1 star) — its best showing in seven reported years, up from 821st of 936 in 2020–2021, though still below its 2015–2016 peak of 599th of 932. Among seven Springfield elementary peers, Brunton places 4th of 7 in all three subjects, ahead of Arthur T Talmadge and Mary M Lynch, but behind Frank H Freedman and Frederick Harris.

The school's overall edge comes almost entirely from 3rd grade, where ELA is 34.15% and math 35.00%; by 5th grade, ELA falls to 21.88% and math to 12.50%, both below district averages. Meanwhile, several subgroups perform near the state midpoint — Special Education students reached the 52nd percentile (3 stars) and Hispanic students the 48th — even as the school overall sits at the 21st. ELA improved to a four-year high while math declined for a second year. Spending ($18,437 per student in 2020–2021) and a 10.6 student–teacher ratio are mid-pack, and nearby Soule Road in Hampden-Wilbraham posts higher results while spending about $3,200 less per student.
