Summary:
ZIP code 01028 covers East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, where the East Longmeadow district serves about 2,442 students across five public schools: three elementary schools — Meadow Brook (PK–2), Mapleshade (grades 3–5) and Mountain View (grades 3–5) — plus Birchland Park (middle, 6–8) and East Longmeadow High (9–12). The district overall ranks 161st of 351 in Massachusetts (54th percentile, 3 stars), but that average hides two very different tiers of performance.
The two upper schools are the standouts. East Longmeadow High is a 4-star, 72nd-percentile school whose 10th-grade science proficiency is 18.49 points above the state, with Biology 14.36 points above state and 10th-grade math 8.52 points above; ELA is only 0.33 points above state. It also graduates 98.3% of students. Birchland Park is likewise 4-star and 71st percentile, and it beats the state in every reported core subject, led by 7th-grade ELA (+19.21 points) and 7th-grade math (+18.32 points); its weaker spot is 6th-grade ELA, at 37.02% versus the state's 40.26%.
The two 3–5 elementaries are the pressure points. Both Mapleshade and Mountain View are 2-star schools in the 46th–48th percentile, down from 3 stars two years earlier. Their all-grade ELA trails the state — Mountain View by 7.10 points, Mapleshade by 2.23 — while math beats state at both. Science fell sharply: Mapleshade from 57.45% to 37.63%, Mountain View from 52.38% to 40.7%. One bright spot is Mountain View's 3rd-grade math at 67.12%, far above the state's 42.19% and the district's 53.22%. Student-teacher ratios run from 9.6 at the high school to 14.2 at Meadow Brook, and 2020–21 per-pupil spending ranges from $15,821 at the high school to $18,693 at Meadow Brook, though that spending data is dated. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank in this data, so they remain unknown.
