Summary:

Zip code 01845 covers North Andover, where North Andover elementary schools number five in total—four serving grades 1–5 and one serving PK–K—with a combined enrollment of 1,854 students and a district ranking of 126 of 351 in Massachusetts (64th percentile, 3 stars). Anne Bradstreet Early Childhood Center is the PK–K campus and enrolls 462 students, the most of any school here; because MCAS testing begins in grade 3, it has no test scores or school rank, and its absence of scores is expected rather than a weakness. The four tested schools—Annie L Sargent School, Franklin, Thomson, and Atkinson—enroll 1,392 students between them.

Franklin is the math leader, with 2025–2026 all-grade math proficiency of 61.83%—more than 10 points above every other tested school—plus the top grade-level math results (3rd grade 68.29%, 4th grade 63.74%) and a 4-star rank at 264 of 899, or the 71st percentile. Annie L Sargent is the most balanced and stable high performer, leading in ELA (48.47%) and science (56.14%) and holding a steady 3-star, roughly 68th–69th percentile position across three years. Thomson has a bright spot in 5th grade math (60.00%) but is trending down: it slipped from 4 stars and the 73rd percentile in 2023–2024 to 3 stars and the 60th percentile in 2025–2026, with all three all-grade subjects falling year over year.

Atkinson posted the biggest gains, rising 10.60 points in ELA, 12.61 in math, and 6.86 in science, and moving from 1 star to 2 stars (25th to 44th percentile)—but it remains the lowest-scoring tested school, below state and district in all three subjects, with a sharp split between strong 3rd grade results (ELA 53.33%, math 58.33%) and weak upper grades (5th grade ELA 21.54%, 4th grade math 27.27%). Scores vary widely between schools: math spans 40.00% to 61.83%, science 32.31% to 56.14%, and ELA 37.22% to 48.47%, so district averages hide real differences. Free/reduced-lunch data are blank for all five schools, limiting comparisons on socioeconomic factors, and spending figures date to 2020–2021.
