Elizabeth S Brown is an elementary school located in Swansea, MA, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 274 students. The school is part of the Swansea school district, which is ranked 171 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elizabeth S Brown consistently outperforms the Swansea district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS Next Generation test scores across all grades and subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, 46.4% of Elizabeth S Brown students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.56% for Swansea and 41.53% for Massachusetts. The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th grade Mathematics, where 62.03% of students were proficient or better, compared to 59.29% for Swansea and 42.7% for Massachusetts. Elizabeth S Brown also performs well across different student subgroups, with the school's Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students ranking in the top 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools in recent years.

While Elizabeth S Brown outperforms the nearby Gardner and Joseph G Luther schools in the Swansea district, its performance is more mixed when compared to schools in the neighboring Fall River district. Elizabeth S Brown outperforms many Fall River schools, but lags behind some higher-performing schools in the Somerset district, such as North Elementary and South. The school's relatively higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that it may have room to optimize its resource allocation and utilization to further improve student outcomes.
