Summary:
ZIP code 01506 is home to a single public school: Brookfield Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 289 students in Brookfield, Massachusetts. Because there are no middle, high, or alternative schools in this ZIP code, there are no local school-to-school comparisons to make; instead, the school is best understood against its district and state benchmarks. It belongs to the Brookfield district, which is ranked 98th of 351 districts in Massachusetts — the 72nd percentile, with a 4-star rating.
Academically, Brookfield Elementary outperforms the state in every tested subject. In 2025–2026 MCAS results, all-grade proficiency was 46.88% in English Language Arts versus 40.03% statewide, 58.13% in Mathematics versus 41.11%, and 58.54% in Science versus 40.98%. Mathematics is the clearest strength, with 6th grade reaching 74.36% proficient — far above the state's 42.59% — while 3rd grade (56.41%) and 5th grade (53.66%) are also well above state. ELA margins are narrower: 4th grade is notably strong at 51.22%, but 6th grade is only slightly above state at 41.03% versus 40.26%. Science remained strong at 58.54%, still 17.56 points above state, though down from 72.97% the prior year.
The school's overall standing improved recently, moving from 329th of 906 schools (64th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 to 257th of 899 (71st percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026. For parents weighing practical context: the student-teacher ratio was 11.1 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $16,206 in 2020–2021, a historical figure rather than a current one. The free/reduced lunch rate for 2024–2025 is not reported in the data, so it should be treated as unknown. School and district results are identical across every reported subject, consistent with a single-school district.
