Summary
Warner is a PK–5 elementary school in Springfield, MA, serving 234 students within the Springfield district. It stands out because Springfield is ranked 322 of 351 districts statewide, while Warner itself ranked 347 of 899 schools (61st percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, its highest rank in the provided history. That contrast is the big story: a school performing above the state median even though its district is near the bottom of the state. Warner’s rank rose from the 27th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 61st percentile in 2025–2026, with a dip in 2023–2024 followed by a strong rebound.
Academically, math is Warner’s clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 57.50% of students were proficient in math, which is 16.39 points above the state and 40.13 points above the Springfield district average. Third, fourth, and fifth grades all scored above the state in math. ELA is about at the state average overall (40.74 vs. 40.03), though grade results vary: 4th grade ELA is below state, while 5th grade ELA is above state. Science is near the state average (40.74 vs. 40.98) and far above the district (20.90), a rebound from a weaker 2023–2024. Compared with nearby same-district Springfield elementaries—Mary M Walsh, Thomas M Balliet, Glickman Elementary, Hiram L Dorman, Indian Orchard Elementary, and Mary M Lynch—Warner has higher 2025–2026 proficiency in ELA, math, and science.
Springfield Preparatory Charter School, a K–8 charter in a different district, ranks higher overall and beats Warner in ELA and science, but Warner leads in math and it is not a like-for-like PK–5 district peer. Warner’s student-teacher ratio improved to 9.0 in 2024–2025, one of the lowest among nearby schools, and its 2020–2021 spending per student was $19,183. The school’s effectiveness rankings are especially strong for Hispanic students and students from low-income backgrounds, and male students have improved sharply. Small schools can have volatile year-to-year results, and some subgroup data are older; free/reduced-lunch information was not reported.
