Abbot Elementary is the strongest tested elementary school, ranking 92nd of 899 at the 90th percentile, ahead of John A. Crisafulli Elementary School (196th) and Day Elementary (199th), both at the 78th percentile. Nashoba Valley Technical High School is the contrast: 243rd of 353, at the 31st percentile with 2 stars, and below state in ELA, math, science, and biology — though its 97.2% graduation rate and 0.6% dropout rate are strong.
Every tested Westford middle and elementary school exceeds state all-grade averages in ELA, math, and science, and the Westford district ranks 38th of 351 statewide (89th percentile, 4 stars) versus 281st of 351 (20th percentile, 1 star) for the Nashoba Valley Regional Vocational Technical district. Notably, the highest per-student spending ($20,822) and smallest classes do not line up with the strongest results here. Col John Robinson, Nabnasset, and Rita E. Miller Elementary School have no MCAS data because they serve PK–2. Free/reduced-lunch data are blank for all schools, so socioeconomic comparisons are not possible.
