For parents, the main picture is a school that generally scores above Massachusetts but below its own high-performing district. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 53.98% in ELA, 46.49% in math, and 53.66% in science, compared with state rates of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. The district, however, averaged 55.87% in ELA, 56.34% in math, and 64.16% in science. The district ranks 59th of 351 in Massachusetts, in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars. The school’s strongest 2025–2026 results are in 4th grade: ELA 67.74% and math 58.06%, both above district and state. Science was also exceptional in 2024–2025 at 86.67%.
Areas to monitor include a recent downward rank trend: the school moved from 114th of 916 (88th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 205th of 906 (77th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025 and 295th of 899 (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. The weakest grade-level result is 5th grade math at 26.83%, below district 31.33% and state 39.50%. Science fell from 86.67% to 53.66%, a drop of about 33 percentage points, and ELA and math also declined year over year. With 242 students across PK–5, small cohorts can create large swings. The student-teacher ratio is 11.9, and 2020–2021 spending was $20,049 per student; free/reduced-lunch data is unknown in this extract. Overall, this is a state-above-average school in a strong district, with 4th grade strengths and 5th grade math and science trends worth watching.
