Summary:
ZIP code 01879 is served by a single public elementary school, Tyngsborough Elementary, which enrolls 715 students in grades PK–5 and is part of the Tyngsborough district, so there are no local peer schools to compare against — the useful comparison is between the school, its district, and the state.
The school's clearest strengths are in science and math. All-grade science proficiency was 48.72%, which is 7.74 percentage points above the statewide 40.98%, and all-grade math reached 43.75% versus 41.11% statewide. The standout single result is 5th-grade math at 53.85% proficient, a full 14.35 points above the state's 39.50%. Science also posted the biggest year-over-year gain, rising from 40.00% to 48.72%. Statewide, the school's rank improved from 533rd of 906 in 2024–2025 to 476th of 899 in 2025–2026, moving from the 41st to the 47th percentile, and it exceeds the district at every grade level reported for ELA, math, and science.
English Language Arts is the area to watch: all-grade ELA was 33.43%, below the district's 35.30% and 6.60 points below the state's 40.03%, with 4th-grade ELA at 25.56% — 11.87 points under the state's 37.43%. The school holds a 2-star rating and 47th percentile, while the district is rated 3 stars at the 56th percentile. The student-teacher ratio is 12.5, and per-student spending was $17,285 in 2020–2021, which is historical rather than current. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank, so equity conclusions cannot be drawn, and no demographic or subgroup information is provided. Overall, families can expect solid science and math performance, particularly in 5th grade, with ELA — especially in 4th grade — as the main opportunity for growth.
