Summary:
ZIP code 01253 has just one public elementary school: Farmington River Elementary, a PK–6 school serving 124 students in Otis, MA, within the Farmington River Regional district. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no local schools to compare it against — the useful comparisons are against the state, the district, and the school's own prior-year results.
The school's 2025–2026 results are a clear step up in English Language Arts and mathematics. ELA reached 48.21% proficient versus the state's 40.03%, and mathematics reached 47.37% versus 41.11%. That improvement lifted the school to a rank of 367th of 899, the 59th percentile, and 3 stars, up from 482nd of 906, the 47th percentile, and 2 stars the year before — a 115-position gain. Grade-level highlights include 6th grade ELA at 61.54% (state 40.26%), 5th grade ELA at 53.33% (state 38.15%), 5th grade mathematics at 53.33% (state 39.50%), and 4th grade ELA at 50.00% (state 37.43%). Below the state average were 3rd grade ELA at 31.25% (state 42.79%) and 4th grade mathematics at 38.46% (state 43.20%).
Science is the main warning sign: it dropped from 50.00% to 33.33%, landing 7.65 points below the state average, even though that same 5th grade cohort scored above the state in ELA and mathematics. The district itself ranks 164th of 351 statewide, at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars. Resource context looks favorable — a 9.3 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $31,204 in 2020–2021 — though free/reduced-price lunch data is not reported, so economic context is unknown. With only 124 students, grade-level percentages can swing sharply, so year-to-year changes should be read cautiously.
