Summary:
ZIP code 01515 contains exactly one public school: East Brookfield Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 247 students, located at 410 East Main Street and part of the Spencer-E Brookfield district. The area summary lists no middle, high, or alternative schools, so families here have no in-town school-to-school comparisons; the meaningful comparisons are this school versus its district and versus the state of Massachusetts.
On that basis, East Brookfield Elementary is a clear district overperformer. In 2025–2026 it beat the district average in every reported subject at the all-grade level: ELA 39.29% vs. 23.87%, math 38.10% vs. 21.70%, and science 50.00% vs. 21.29%. Science is its standout strength, exceeding the state's 40.98% in 2025–2026 and 41.51% in 2024–2025, when the school scored 62.50%. ELA sits essentially at the state average, while math trails it slightly. Grade-level results are uneven: Grade 3 ELA and math both reached 47.62%, above state, but Grade 5 math was 21.43% against a state figure of 39.50% — the school's weakest reported result, though still above the district's 10.00%.
Year-over-year trends in the core subjects are encouraging: math rose from 32.00% to 38.10% and ELA from 37.33% to 39.29%, while science slipped from an unusually high prior-year result but stayed above the state. Ranking data tell two different stories — the district ranks 279 of 351 at the 21st percentile with 1 star, while the school's own rank history places it near the middle of Massachusetts elementaries at the 44th–50th percentile with 2–3 stars. Enrollment is 247, the student-teacher ratio was 13.1 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $18,501 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced-lunch data is not provided, so economic context cannot be assessed, and because the school ends at Grade 6, later outcomes would require data from other ZIP codes.
