Summary:
ZIP code 01109 in Springfield contains 8 elementary schools, all within the Springfield school district, serving 2,583 students in total. Six schools serve PK–5 (Rebecca M Johnson, Benjamin Swan Elementary, William N. DeBerry, Thomas M Balliet, Hiram L Dorman, and Frank H Freedman), one serves PK–K (Early Childhood Education Center), and one serves grades 3–5 (Springfield International Academy at Johnson). The district itself ranks 322 of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 8th percentile.
Frank H Freedman is the clear standout: it is the only school in the ZIP above the state average in ELA (46.15) and Science (43.33), and its Math score of 31.87 is the highest in the group, though still below the state's 41.11. At the other extreme, Springfield International Academy at Johnson, with just 38 students, reported 0 percent proficient in ELA, Math, and Science in both 2024–25 and 2025–26. William N. DeBerry posted the biggest subject jump, with Science rising from 11.90 to 37.31, while Thomas M Balliet declined in rank percentile from 32 to 25 to 14.
Across the 7 tested schools, average ELA is 20.12, Math 15.88, and Science 24.26, compared with district averages of 22.09, 17.37, and 20.90 and state averages of 40.03, 41.11, and 40.98. Science is the group's relative strength against the district; Math is the weakest subject relative to the state, and no school here beats the state Math average. Spending figures are from 2020–21, and free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every school, so poverty-related comparisons are not possible.
