Summary

Pine Grove is a PK–6 elementary school in Rowley, MA, serving 429 students as part of the Triton district. In 2025–26 it ranked 139th of 899 elementary schools statewide — the 85th percentile, or 4 stars — placing it well above its district's overall standing (68th percentile, 3 stars) and in the top 15% of Massachusetts elementary schools. The school has climbed steadily, from the 44th–49th percentile in the late 2010s to 85th percentile today, moving from 496th of 942 in 2018–19 to 139th of 899 in 2025–26, and it has earned 4 stars in each of the last four reported years.

Pine Grove outperforms both its district and the state in all three MCAS subjects: 61.23% proficient in ELA, 62.01% in math, and 81.58% in science, compared with Triton's 51.34%, 51.22%, and 60.14%. Science is the clearest signature strength — more than double the state's 40.98% and higher than every nearby school with reported science data, including Newbury Elementary (71.15%), River Valley Charter School (73.44%), and Cutler School (57.14%). Grade 5 drives much of this: 76.32% in ELA, 78.95% in math, and 81.58% in science, all far above district and state averages. One nuance for parents comparing local options: Newbury's grade 6 ELA and math are higher than Pine Grove's (72.34% vs. 57.89% and 74.47% vs. 66.67%), while Pine Grove's edge is concentrated in grade 5.

Subgroup results are a major strength, with Pine Grove ranking in the 89th percentile for low-socioeconomic-status students and 87th for special education students — the latter up from 66th in 2023–24. The main relative soft spot is grade 4 math at 50.00%, slightly below the district's 51.52% but still above the state's 43.20%. Two caveats: science is tested only in grade 5, so those results reflect a single grade, and nearby schools serve different grade ranges, making overall comparisons imperfect.
