Summary

Worcester Dual Language Magnet School is a PK–6 elementary school serving 519 students in Worcester, MA, and is part of the Worcester district; for 2025–2026 it ranked 807th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools, in the 10th percentile with 1 star.

On the 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 20.97% of students met proficiency in English language arts, 15.79% in math, and 16.39% in science. Those results trail the Worcester district rates of 24.98% in ELA, 24.25% in math, and 23.97% in science, and fall far below statewide rates of roughly 40% in each subject. Within the same district, Flagg Street (55.20% ELA, 67.73% math) and West Tatnuck (56.88% ELA, 54.38% math) are 4-star schools, and Midland Street is also well ahead. Worcester Dual Language Magnet School sits in the lower tier of nearby Worcester elementary schools, above Woodland Academy, Chandler Elementary Community, and Elm Park Community, but its math proficiency is lower than every nearby school except Woodland Academy.

This is a long-standing pattern rather than a one-year dip: the school's rank percentiles have mostly stayed in the single digits or low teens since 2015–2016, though results improved slightly from 2024–2025, when it was at the 6th percentile. Subgroup results vary widely. Students from low-income families rank near the bottom — 710th of 742, or the 4th percentile, with 0 stars — while special education students (38th percentile) and English language learners (27th percentile) rank above the school overall. Resources look comparatively strong: the school had the highest per-student spending among nearby schools at $20,444 in 2020–2021 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.5, lower than most neighbors. Even so, proficiency remains among the lowest in the area.
