Summary

Burncoat Street is an elementary school in Worcester, MA, serving 223 students in grades K–6 and part of the Worcester district, which ranks 304th of 351 Massachusetts districts (13th percentile, 1 star). In 2025–2026, the school ranked 747th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (17th percentile, 1 star), up from 822nd of 906 (9th percentile, 0 stars) in 2024–2025, though it remains in the bottom fifth of the state and has typically hovered between the 6th and 22nd percentiles over the past decade.

Academically, the school’s 2025–2026 all-grade results were 24.19% proficient in ELA (district 24.98%, state 40.03%), 16.94% in math (district 24.25%, state 41.11%), and 30% in science (district 23.97%, state 40.98%). Math is the clearest weakness and the lowest among regular same-district nearby elementary schools; 4th-grade math was 7.89% proficient, more than 35 points below the state average. Science is above the district average but volatile, swinging between 13.89% and 30% recently. ELA improved from 16% in 2024–2025, and 3rd-grade ELA was above the district average, but 6th-grade ELA was below the district.

Nearby comparisons are stark: Worcester Arts Magnet School, 1.52 miles away, ranks 63rd percentile (3 stars) and outperforms Burncoat Street by roughly 29 points in ELA, 24 in math, and 32 in science. Leroy E. Mayo in Wachusett, 2.54 miles away, ranks 74th percentile (4 stars) and outperforms by about 28 points in ELA, 38 in math, and 31 in science. Norrback Avenue, 0.39 miles away, has a similar overall rank (18th percentile) but higher math and science, lower ELA. The school’s student-teacher ratio of 10.8 is relatively favorable, and per-student spending was $16,851 in 2020–2021, yet results have not matched nearby schools. Subgroup results are uneven: special education students rank 57th percentile, and English Language Learner students improved to 31st percentile, while several other groups remain in the bottom quartile. Recent free/reduced-lunch data are blank, and spending data end in 2020–2021.
