Summary

Tyngsborough Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 715 students in Tyngsborough, MA — the largest elementary school in its nearby comparison group and one of only two PK–5 schools in that group. In 2025–2026 it ranked 476th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (47th percentile, 2 stars), a modest rebound from 533rd of 906 (41st percentile) in 2024–2025, though well below its 2015–2016 position of 322nd of 932 (65th percentile, 3 stars). It is part of the Tyngsborough district, which ranks 156th of 351 districts statewide.

Academically, the school's strengths are math and science. Math was 43.75% proficient, above both district and state, and science was 48.72%, above the state and nearly even with the district. ELA is the weak spot at 33.43% proficient, below both district and state. Compared with neighbors, Tyngsborough outperforms Lowell's Joseph McAvinnue and Pawtucketville Memorial and is close to Dracut's Brookside Elementary in overall rank, but trails Chelmsford's Charles D Harrington, the Westford 3–5 schools (Abbot Elementary, Day Elementary, and John A. Crisafulli Elementary School), and Swallow/Union School.

Grade-level results show where attention is needed. Fifth grade math (53.85%) and science (48.72%) both beat state averages, while fourth grade ELA was 25.56% proficient, nearly 12 points below the state. Class sizes look favorable, with a 12.5 student–teacher ratio that is lower than several nearby schools, and per-student spending of $17,285. The school ranks high in effectiveness for English Language Learner students (80th percentile) and near the statewide median for special education students, while the low-income subgroup slipped from 58th to 37th percentile.
