Summary:
The 01253 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Farmington River Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 129 students. The school is part of the Farmington River Regional school district, which is ranked 227 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Farmington River Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 386 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 470 out of 916 in 2023-2024 and 482 out of 906 in 2024-2025. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, with the exception of 5th grade Science, where 50% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 45.83%. Despite the school's high spending of $31,204 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, and a very low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, the academic outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with this investment.
Overall, the data suggests that Farmington River Elementary is facing some challenges in terms of academic performance, as evidenced by its declining statewide ranking and below-average test scores. While the school appears to be investing heavily in resources and support for its students, the underlying factors contributing to these academic challenges warrant further investigation to identify opportunities for improvement.
