Summary:
ZIP code 02302 in Brockton is home to five elementary schools serving about 3,356 students in total: Edgar B Davis (K–8), Mary E. Baker School (K–5), Downey (PK–5), Brookfield (PK–5), and Gilmore Elementary School (K–5). All belong to the Brockton district, which ranks 329 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts. School sizes range widely, from 1,009 students at Edgar B Davis down to 444 at Gilmore.
Among the five, Mary E. Baker School has the strongest overall profile: the best 2025–2026 rank (766 of 899) and the highest all-grade ELA (23.51%) and science (26.04%) proficiency, plus the lowest student–teacher ratio at 14.4. However, it has slipped in rank percentile over three years, from 24 to 20 to 15, and its scores dipped from the prior year. Edgar B Davis is the largest school and the math leader, with 21.52% all-grade math proficiency and notably stronger upper grades (28.57% in 7th grade math, 32.67% in 8th grade math). Brookfield made the biggest year-over-year jump, improving ELA from 12.50% to 20.98% and math from 11.06% to 19.21%, but its science proficiency is the lowest in the group at 8.06%, and 5th grade results are very weak.
Downey spends the most per student ($18,720 in 2020–2021) yet ranks 823 of 899; its bright spot is 3rd grade math at 32.58%. Gilmore Elementary School is the lowest performer, ranking 858 of 899 with the lowest all-grade math (11.28%) and no stars in any of the three years. Notably, every school scores well below state averages of roughly 40% in each subject, and higher spending does not line up with stronger results here.
