Summary

Jacob Hiatt Magnet is a PK–6 elementary school in Worcester, MA, serving 367 students as part of the Worcester district. Statewide, it ranks 644th of 899 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026 (28th percentile, 1 star), after peaking around 462nd of 942 (51st percentile) in 2018–2019. Its 2025–2026 MCAS results are above the Worcester district averages in ELA, math, and science, but below the state averages in ELA and math, with science close to the state average.

Compared with nearby Worcester elementary schools, Jacob Hiatt Magnet is a relative bright spot. It has the highest math proficiency in its comparison group at 29.03%, ahead of Columbus Park (22.73%), Goddard School/Science Technical (22.00%), Canterbury (20.14%), and Union Hill School (21.74%). It also has the second-highest ELA (27.27%) and science (39.29%) proficiency nearby, behind only Columbus Park. Meanwhile it spent $15,116 per student in 2020–2021, less than most nearby schools, and its student-to-teacher ratio of 13.9 is middle of the pack. That combination suggests comparatively efficient results, though the spending figure is several years old.

Grade-level results show clear strengths and gaps. Fifth-grade math (39.29%) is essentially at the state average and far above the district, while sixth-grade ELA (31.71%), fourth-grade ELA (28.57%), and third-grade math (28.00%) also beat district averages. Fifth-grade ELA (21.43%), fourth-grade math (22.86%), and sixth-grade math (28.57%) fall below district levels. Effectiveness varies widely by student group: rankings are far above the school's overall standing for African American students (82nd–87th percentile in recent years) and for Hispanic students (52nd percentile), and near average for low-income students (45th percentile, 2 stars). The sharpest concern is English Language Learner students, where the school ranked 289th of 291 schools (1st percentile) in 2025–2026, down from the 32nd percentile the year before.
