Summary

East Taunton Elementary is a PK–4 school at 58R Stevens Street in East Taunton, MA, serving 564 students as part of Taunton Public Schools.

On 2025–26 MCAS results, East Taunton ranked 523rd of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (42nd percentile, 2 stars), with 36.32% of students proficient in ELA and 39.29% in math. That puts it well above its district's overall standing — Taunton ranks 291st of 351 districts statewide (17th percentile, 1 star) — and it leads all five Taunton peers in the comparison set in both subjects, finishing ahead of H H Galligan, Joseph C Chamberlain, Edmund Hatch Bennett, James L. Mulcahey Elementary School, and Elizabeth Pole. It still trails the state (40.03% ELA, 41.11% math) and every nearby out-of-district school with published results, including Berkley Community School (46.51% math), Dighton Elementary (48.75%), Laliberte Elementary School (49.18%), and Assawompset Elementary School (58.77%). Math is where the regional gap is widest.

Class size is a relative strength: 12.5 students per teacher (2024–25) is the second-lowest in the comparison group, and per-student spending reached $15,959 by 2020–21 — more than higher-scoring neighbors like Assawompset or Berkley. Even so, the school's statewide rank has drifted down over the past decade, from the 71st percentile in 2016–17 to the low-to-mid 40s, flattening in the last three years. Low-income students have performed strongly, ranking in the 70th–79th percentile three years running, while special education students sit lower (26th–46th percentile) and look like the clearest area for improvement. Watch the most recent year's split: ELA fell 7.9 points while math rose 2.4.
