Summary

City View is a PK–6 elementary school at 80 Prospect Street in Worcester, MA, serving 464 students as part of the Worcester district.

For 2025–2026, City View is ranked 841 of 899 statewide, at the 6th percentile with 0 stars, and its statewide percentile has stayed between 5 and 12 since 2015–2016. MCAS Next Generation results are below both the Worcester district and Massachusetts averages: ELA 16.75%, math 12.50%, and science 20.00%. Math is the clearest weakness—about 11.8 points below the district and 28.6 points below the state. Among nearby Worcester elementary schools, Lake View stands out: about 1.6 miles away, it ranks at the 66th percentile with 3 stars and scores 48.05% in ELA, 49.35% in math, and 64.52% in science. Excluding Lake View, City View’s math is still roughly 10.6 points below the average of the other nearby Worcester elementary schools, while ELA and science are closer to those nearby averages.

Resources do not appear to explain the low results: City View’s student-teacher ratio was 12.1 in 2024–2025, lower than many nearby schools, and its 2020–2021 per-pupil spending was $16,659, higher than many nearby schools, including Lake View. Some groups are served better than the overall rank suggests: English Language Learner students ranked in the 66th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, far above the school overall, while special education students were at the 18th percentile and low-income students at the 16th percentile. Recent trends show no sustained turnaround: ELA and science improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 but remain below 2022–2023 levels, and math declined from 18.02% to 12.50%. Spending data are from 2020–2021, and some subgroup results are based on small groups, so use caution.
