Lt Eleazer Davis shows no test scores in this data, which is expected for a PK–2 school since MCAS testing generally begins in grade 3.

Both schools share a district rated 25th of 351 in the state, at the 93rd percentile with 5 stars. Note that free/reduced lunch data is unknown for both schools and should not be read as zero, and spending figures are older than the test-score and staffing data.
