Summary

Anne T. Dunphy School is a small public elementary school in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, serving grades PK–6 with about 111 students, and it is the school associated with the Williamsburg district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 40th out of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — 96th percentile, 5 stars — a dramatic jump from a decade earlier, when it ranked 654th of 932 (30th percentile, 1 star). The Williamsburg district as a whole ranks 10th of 351 districts, in the 97th percentile.

Test results are far above the state average. In 2025–2026 all-grade results, English language arts proficiency was 69.35% at the school versus 40.03% statewide, mathematics was 75.81% versus 41.11%, and science was 100% versus 40.98%. The school outperforms every nearby school in all three subjects. Its closest local peer, Jackson Street in Northampton, ranked 263rd of 899, in the 71st percentile, while other nearby schools fell between the 26th and 71st percentiles. Nearby districts trail as well: Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public ranks 112th of 351 and Northampton 139th. Results are strong in every grade tested, not driven by one group: 4th-grade math was 83.33% and 6th-grade math 84.21%, both well above the state average.

Resources are high — a student-teacher ratio of 6.5 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $23,340 in 2020–2021 — but they don't tell the whole story. Westhampton Elementary School has an even lower ratio (5.7) with much lower scores, and New Hingham Regional Elementary spends $23,721 per student yet ranked 521st of 899. Subgroup rankings are generally strong: male students ranked in the 98th percentile in 2025–2026, and special education students reached the 96th percentile in 2021–2022, up from the 16th percentile in 2018–2019, though more recent subgroup data are not available. With only 111 students, percentages can swing from year to year, and free/reduced-lunch data were not provided.
