Summary:
ZIP code 01834 is home to a single public school: Elmer S Bagnall, an elementary school in Groveland, Massachusetts that serves grades PK through 6 and enrolls 519 students as part of the Pentucket district. Because there is only one school in this ZIP code, there are no side-by-side school comparisons to make — the most useful benchmarks are how this school performs against its district and against Massachusetts as a whole. It is currently a 3-star school.
The strongest news for families is in English language arts and math. In 2025-2026, Elmer S Bagnall scored 51.58% proficient in ELA against 45.60% for the district and 40.03% for the state, and 50.18% in math against 46.29% district and 41.11% state. Those margins held in 2024-2025 as well, and ELA improved year over year while the district's ELA result slipped. Individual grades show real peaks: third-grade ELA (65.63%) and math (62.50%), plus sixth-grade ELA (63.89%) and math (62.50%), all ran well above state averages. The main concern is science, which fell from 60.87% in 2024-2025 to 34.38% in 2025-2026, dropping from about 19 points above the state to roughly 7 points below it. Fifth grade is the weakest band, with math at 29.69% (nearly 14 points below the district) and science at 34.38%.
The school's state rank has softened modestly, from the 70th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 65th and then 64th percentile, though it remains above the median and holds its 3-star rating. The Pentucket district itself ranks 131st of 351 districts at the 63rd percentile, so the school sits close to its district on that measure. Practical context: the student-teacher ratio is 12.1 for 2024-2025, per-student spending of $15,574 is reported only for 2020-2021, and free/reduced lunch data for 2024-2025 is not available, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed. Overall, this is a solidly above-average elementary school for ELA and math with an uneven grade-level profile and a science result worth watching.
