Summary

Newbury Elementary is a PK–6 public school in Newbury, Massachusetts, serving 424 students as part of the Triton district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 161 of 899 elementary schools statewide — 82nd percentile, 4 stars — noticeably stronger than the district overall (111 of 351, 68th percentile, 3 stars). That pattern has held for years: Newbury has climbed from 65th percentile in 2020–2021 into the top fifth of the state, peaking at 86th percentile in 2023–2024.

Its 2025–2026 MCAS proficiency rates are 59.72% in English language arts, 58.49% in math, and 71.15% in science — all above the district and well above the state. Science is a signature strength, more than 30 points above the state average. Grade 6 is the academic high point, with 72.34% proficiency in ELA and 74.47% in math, both far above district and state. The one relative lag is grade 5 math at 44.23%, below the district's 52.67% but still above the state's 39.50% — which points to a cohort-specific dip rather than a schoolwide math issue.

Among nearby schools, only Pine Grove ranks higher overall (139/899, 85th percentile), and it leads in all-grade ELA, math, and science — but much of that edge comes from grade 5, where Pine Grove's scores are dramatically higher, while Newbury's grade 6 outperforms Pine Grove's. Newbury clearly outpaces Salisbury Elementary, Helen R Donaghue School, Charles C Cashman Elementary, and Edward G. Molin Elementary School, and has stronger ELA and science than Paul F Doyon Memorial and Dr John C Page School, though those two score slightly higher in math overall. Newbury's low-income students ranked 98th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, though that result has varied year to year, and its student-teacher ratio was 10.7.
