Summary

John A. Crisafulli Elementary School is a grades 3–5 public elementary school in Westford, MA, serving 342 students as part of the Westford district, which ranks 38th of 351 Massachusetts districts. The school's student-teacher ratio has risen from 12.2 in 2022–23 to 13.4 in 2024–25, and per-student spending was $15,537 in 2020–21.

Statewide, Crisafulli ranks 196th of 899 schools in 2025–26 — the 78th percentile with 4 stars. That is a solid result, but it marks a notable slide: from 2015–16 through 2020–21 the school sat in the 93rd–96th percentile with 5 stars. Crisafulli still scores well above state averages in every tested subject — roughly 13 points higher in English language arts, 18 in math, and 28 in science — yet it trails the Westford district average in ELA (about 4 points) and math (about 8 points), while science is essentially even. Results vary sharply by grade: 5th-grade math (69.83%) is a clear strength above the district, while 4th grade is the weak spot, with math 10.71 points and ELA 3.83 points below district averages.

Among nearby schools, Abbot Elementary is the key same-district benchmark, ranking in the 90th percentile and outperforming Crisafulli in all three subjects. Day Elementary holds a similar overall rank with a math-leaning profile, and Russell St Elementary is close behind at the 79th percentile, while Tyngsborough Elementary trails substantially. Subgroup data show no meaningful gender gap, but the special education rank fell from the 89th to the 62nd percentile in 2025–26, worth monitoring, and low-income student results have been uneven (89th, 50th, then 69th). Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not published for Crisafulli or nearby schools, so economic comparisons aren't possible.
