Summary:
ZIP code 01945 contains two elementary schools, both in the Marblehead district and both serving grades PK–3: Lucretia and Joseph Brown School, with 445 students and a 12.8 student–teacher ratio, and Glover, with 318 students and a 13.2 ratio. Because both schools end at third grade, their All Grades and 3rd Grade MCAS Next Generation results are identical. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for both schools, so economic-disadvantage context is unknown.
On the most recent 2025–2026 tests, Lucretia and Joseph Brown School is the stronger performer: 64.36% proficient in ELA and 66.34% in Math, above the district (57.66 and 59.88) and well above the state (40.03 and 41.11). Brown also gained 8.18 points in Math year over year while its ELA score held nearly steady. Glover led in 2024–2025, with 70.59 in ELA and 69.12 in Math, but dropped sharply to 56.47 and 50.59 — declines of 14.12 and 18.53 points, far larger than the district’s and state’s small movements. Glover now trails the district in both subjects, though it remains above the state.
So the two schools effectively swapped places between the two years: Glover led Brown by 5.28 points in ELA and 10.96 in Math in 2024–2025, while Brown now leads by 7.89 and 15.75. Both schools outperform the state in every reported metric, which is the most reassuring takeaway for families. Two caveats: Glover’s 2002–2003 historical rank (163 of 884, 82nd percentile, 4 stars) is not current performance, and spending can only be compared for Glover ($19,904 per student in 2020–2021), since Brown has no spending figure.
