Summary

Field Elementary School is a public elementary school in Weston, MA — a suburban community west of Boston — serving grades 4–5 with 317 students as part of the Weston district. Statewide, Field ranks 22nd of 899 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (98th percentile, 5 stars), and its district ranks 8th of 351 Massachusetts districts (98th percentile, 5 stars). Its rank history is consistently elite: 20/906 in 2024–2025, 8/916 in 2023–2024, 38/928 in 2022–2023, and 54/932 in 2021–2022 — every shown year is 5 stars, with percentiles ranging from 94 to 99. On MCAS Next Generation in 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 72.29% in English Language Arts, 79.22% in Math, and 70.73% in Science, far above state averages of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. The student-teacher ratio was 13.4 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $27,705 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not reported in the provided data.

Among nearby ranked schools, only Katharine Lee Bates placed higher, at 11/899 (99th percentile). Loker School ranked 35/899 (96th percentile), C C Burr 41/899 (95th percentile), Claypit Hill School 78/899 (91st percentile), and Williams 154/899 (83rd percentile), while Waltham schools ranked roughly 557–670 of 899 (25th–38th percentiles). Field beats Claypit Hill, Williams, and the Waltham schools in ELA and Math, and edges out Loker and C C Burr in those subjects, though those two are stronger in Science in 2025–2026. Against district averages, Field is slightly above in Math and slightly below in ELA and Science — but at matching grade levels it matches or exceeds the district in every 2025–2026 tested area, since Country and Woodland serve PK–3 and post very high third-grade results that lift the all-grade district figures.

Subgroup rankings suggest strong school effectiveness across many populations in 2025–2026: female students 12/869, male students 36/879, Hispanic students 9/475, White students 18/734, special education students 14/709, and low socio-economic status students 24/742. Asian and multi-racial student results are more variable but still generally above average, and small comparison groups mean single-year swings should be read cautiously. Two caveats are worth keeping in mind: Field serves only grades 4–5, so comparisons with PK–3 and K–5 schools are not perfectly equivalent, and its resources are high relative to most nearby districts — yet Waltham schools with comparable spending and lower student-teacher ratios post much lower proficiency, showing that funding alone does not explain the outcome gap.

Field school is terrific. Principal Lucy is exceptional and the teachers make extradordinary efforts to educate 4th and 5th graders. We are looking forward to having our third grader in field school next year! Close Quote
