Summary

Elizabeth S Brown is a 283-student, grades 3–5 elementary school in Swansea, MA, part of the Swansea district in the area between Fall River and Somerset. In 2025–26 it ranked 397th of 899 Massachusetts schools (56th percentile, 3 stars), while the Swansea district ranked 146th of 351 districts (58th percentile, 3 stars). The school has stayed above the state median for years, peaking at the 70th percentile in 2020–21 before settling in the mid-to-high 50s recently.

On 2025–26 MCAS, Elizabeth S Brown’s all-grade proficiency was above both district and state in ELA (40.82%), math (46.04%), and science (48.81%). Science is the standout: 48.81% is the highest among nearby schools and far above Fall River schools such as Westall Elementary (12.20%), John J Doran (12.26%), James Tansey (28.89%), and Spencer Borden (22.22%). Math is strong, 4.93 points above state, but trails North Elementary (52.24%), South (50.82%), and Joseph G Luther (48.98%). ELA is only modestly above state and district; it trails Joseph G Luther and North Elementary but leads South, Chace Street, and the Fall River schools. By grade, 4th-grade ELA is the pressure point (33.68%, below district and state), while 5th-grade math and science are strong; 4th-grade math is below district but above state.

Elizabeth S Brown’s biggest comparative strength is low-income students: it ranks in the 74th percentile (4 stars), much higher than its overall 56th percentile. Special education is a concern, falling from 55th percentile in 2023–24 to 28th (1 star) in 2025–26. Staffing is leaner: its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 17.1 is higher than most nearby schools, and its 2020–21 spending of $13,534 per student was lower than most comparators, though that spending data is dated. Compared with Joseph G Luther, the other Swansea grades 3–5 school, Luther is slightly ahead overall (370th vs. 397th) and leads ELA and math, while Brown leads science and has stronger 3rd- and 5th-grade results. Overall, Brown is a solidly above-median school with standout science and low-income effectiveness, but 4th-grade ELA and special education effectiveness are the main areas to watch.
