Summary

Israel Loring School is a K–5 elementary school at 80 Woodside Road in Sudbury, MA, serving 426 students as part of the Sudbury district, which ranks 23rd of 351 Massachusetts districts (93rd percentile, 5 stars). In 2025–2026, Israel Loring ranked 106th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 88th percentile, 4 stars — placing it in the top 12% of the state, though slightly below its own district's 5-star profile. The school's rank has improved, from the 80th percentile in 2024–2025 and 2022–2023 to the 88th in 2025–2026, and its student–teacher ratio has tightened from 12.1 in 2022–2023 to 10.3 in 2024–2025.

Academically, Loring is well above the state in every subject: 61.97% proficiency in English language arts (about +22 points over Massachusetts), 65.42% in math (+24), and 78.18% in science (+37). Science is the breakout strength — roughly 11 points above the district and the highest among the Sudbury elementaries in this comparison, ahead of General John Nixon Elementary and Peter Noyes, and competitive with top Wayland schools such as Loker School and Happy Hollow School. ELA is the relative soft spot, about 5 points below the district, with the weakest grade-level result in 4th grade (56.58%). Math is trending up steadily — 55.02%, 58.91%, 60.29%, then 65.42% across the last four years. Nearby Framingham schools illustrate how little geography predicts outcomes: Potter Road, under a mile away, scores roughly 22–32% proficient across subjects, and even Hemenway trails Loring by 15–27 points in ELA and math.

Subgroup results are uneven. Male students rank in the 95th percentile, white students in the 91st, and special education students in the 90th, while female students rank in the 81st — a roughly 13–14 point gap that has held for three years — and Hispanic students in the 62nd. The clearest concern is low-SES students, who ranked in the 16th percentile in 2024–2025, after 21st and 9th in prior years. Notably, free/reduced-lunch data are blank for the available years, so the size of that group cannot be determined. Operationally, Loring's 10.3 student–teacher ratio is lower than most nearby schools, and its 2020–2021 per-student spending of $19,842 is mid-range, suggesting resources alone don't explain the differences.
