Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 01129 consist of two schools — Warner and Mary M Walsh — both serving grades PK–5 within the Springfield district, which itself ranks 322 out of 351 districts statewide, at the 8th percentile with 0 stars. The two schools are nearly identical in size, with 234 students at Warner and 232 at Mary M Walsh.
Warner is the standout in this area. In 2025–2026 it ranks 347 out of 899 schools, at the 61st percentile with 3 stars — above the state median. Its strongest subject is Mathematics, where 57.50% of students are proficient, compared with 41.11% statewide and 17.37% in the district. Warner is essentially at the state level in English Language Arts (40.74% vs. 40.03%) and in Science (40.74% vs. 40.98%). Math performance is consistent across grades 3, 4, and 5, so it is not a one-grade result.
Mary M Walsh is a standout for improvement rather than overall performance. Its rank rose from 717 out of 916 in 2023–2024 (22nd percentile, 1 star) to 528 out of 899 in 2025–2026 (41st percentile, 2 stars). Still, it trails the state in English Language Arts (32.18% vs. 40.03%) and Science (34.62% vs. 40.98%), while Math is roughly at the state average (41.38% vs. 41.11%). One caution for parents: Mary M Walsh spends more per student ($19,956 vs. $19,183 in 2020–2021) and has the smaller student-teacher ratio (8.4 vs. 9.0), yet Warner posts much higher proficiency. Spending figures are historical and free/reduced lunch data is not populated for either school, so other context cannot be assessed. Both schools beat the district average in every tested subject, but Warner sits far closer to state averages.
