Summary:
ZIP code 01028 is home to three elementary schools — Meadow Brook (PK–2), Mapleshade (grades 3–5), and Mountain View (grades 3–5) — all in the East Longmeadow district, which ranks 161 of 351 districts statewide (54th percentile, 3 stars), slightly above the middle. Spending figures are from 2020–21 and student/teacher ratios from 2024–25; free/reduced-lunch percentages are not reported for any of the three schools, so they are unknown rather than zero.
The schools differ mainly by grade span and size. Meadow Brook is by far the largest at 516 students, with the highest per-student spending ($18,693) and the highest student/teacher ratio (14.2), but because it serves PK–2 it has no grade 3–5 MCAS or ranking data and cannot be compared academically to the other two. Among the tested schools, Mapleshade (297 students, ratio 12.7) had the stronger ELA profile and the top 2024–25 Science result at 57.45% proficient, well above the district's 48.99% and the state's 41.51%; its best 2025–26 results were 3rd Grade ELA at 50.54% and 4th Grade Math at 50%. Mountain View (286 students) has the lowest student/teacher ratio at 10.6 and the single brightest result in the dataset: 2025–26 3rd Grade Math at 67.12%, far above the district's 53.22% and the state's 42.19%.
Both tested schools slipped in 2025–26, with Mapleshade falling from the 57th to the 48th percentile and Mountain View from the 59th to the 46th; each dropped from 3 stars to 2 stars. Science swung sharply — Mapleshade went from 57.45% to 37.63% — while Math remained the relative strength, with both schools above the state in all-grade Math. In ELA and Science they trailed the district, even though the East Longmeadow district as a whole stayed above the state in all three subjects.
