Summary

Belmont Street Community is a PK–6 elementary school at 170 Belmont Street in Worcester, MA, serving 615 students — the largest enrollment among its nearby Worcester elementary peers — within the Worcester district, which ranks 304th of 351 in Massachusetts. The school ranked 675th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025-2026 (25th percentile, 1 star). Its decade-long arc climbs from the 8th percentile in 2015-2016 to a 28th-percentile peak in 2018-2019, falls to 4th percentile in 2020-2021, then recovers to the mid-20s — where results have held steady for four straight years without returning to the earlier peak.

Mathematics is the school's anchor. At 30.92% proficiency in 2025-2026, math runs 6.7 points above the district average (24.25%) and has beaten the district by 5.7 to 9.6 points for four consecutive years; 6th-grade math reaches 49.32%, above both district and state. English Language Arts (23.2%) and science (17.74%) trail the district, and science — tested only in 5th grade, so effectively one class — is the weakest area. Among nine nearby Worcester elementaries, Belmont ranks 2nd in math and 3rd overall while spending $14,877 per student, the second-lowest in the group. Class size is a growing pressure point at 14.7 students per teacher, up from 13.5. Lake View, 1.5 miles away with nearly identical spending and staffing, posts 48% ELA and 49% math; City View, 0.4 miles away, spends about $1,800 more per student with smaller classes yet reaches only 12.5% math proficiency.

Several student groups are served markedly better than the school's overall 25th-percentile standing suggests. African American students have ranked in the 79th–86th percentile across three years and Hispanic students in the 69th–73rd, while English Language Learners ranked as high as the 93rd percentile before easing to 60th in 2025-2026 — still well above the school overall. Low-income student results have slipped from the 57th to the 46th percentile, and special education outcomes sit in the 24th–30th range. In short: math is the strength, several student groups are bright spots, overall growth has plateaued, and science is the outlier to watch.
