Summary

Indian Orchard Elementary is a PK–5 school at 95 Milton Street in Indian Orchard, MA, serving 580 students in the Springfield district. Its district ranks 322 of 351 in Massachusetts (8th percentile, 0 stars), and the school has been in the bottom 10–15% of state elementary schools for years. In 2025–2026 it ranked 805 of 899 (10th percentile, 1 star), an improvement from the 2nd–5th percentile range in the mid-2010s but a slip from 15th percentile in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation, proficiency was 19.91% in English language arts, 17.41% in math, and 21.31% in science—roughly at district levels in math and science, slightly below district in ELA, and roughly 20–24 points below the state in all three subjects.

Nearby comparisons stand out. Warner, 1 mile away and in the same district, has similar per-student spending ($19,183 vs. $18,854) and a lower student/teacher ratio (9.0 vs. 12.9), yet scores 40.74% in ELA, 57.50% in math, and 40.74% in science—about +20.83, +40.09, and +19.43 points higher. Springfield Preparatory Charter School spends $2,297 less per student, has a lower student/teacher ratio (11.2 vs. 12.9), and scores roughly 32–35 points higher in all three subjects. Indian Orchard’s enrollment of 580 is larger than most same-district nearby schools, and its 12.9 student/teacher ratio is higher than most nearby schools.

Grade-level results are uneven. Fifth-grade math is the clearest red flag: 6.56% proficient, far below the district’s 21.21% and the state’s 39.50%, and more than 10 points below the next-lowest nearby school with data. Fourth-grade math is a relative bright spot at 24.00%, above the district’s 21.88% but below the state’s 43.20%. Science often runs at or above district levels (21.31% vs. 20.90%) but far below state levels. Some student groups rank higher than the school overall: special education students improved from the 16th to the 39th percentile over three years, and low-income students ranked 29th percentile in 2025–2026. Overall, the school’s clearest priorities are fifth-grade math and fourth-grade ELA.
