Summary:
ZIP code 02351 (Abington, MA) has two elementary schools, both in the Abington district: Beaver Brook Elementary (grades K–2, 491 students) and Woodsdale Elementary School (grades 3–4, 372 students). Because the schools split the elementary grades, they can't be compared head-to-head on test scores — Beaver Brook has no current MCAS results in this data set, which is consistent with a K–2 grade span and should not be read as poor performance. Abington is ranked 195 of 351 districts in Massachusetts, at the 44th percentile with 2 stars.
Woodsdale Elementary School is the only school here with current MCAS results, and its record is mixed. The bright spot was 2024–2025 math: 44.66% proficient at All Grades, above the district (37.87%) and the state (40.74%). Results have since slipped: 2025–2026 math fell to 35.40%, just above the district (34.89%) but below the state (41.11%), while ELA came in at 33.82%, below both district (35.48%) and state (40.03%). By grade, 3rd grade ELA (35.37%) and 4th grade math (33.91%) edge out their district comparisons but trail the state, with 4th grade math 9.29 points behind. Woodsdale's ranking has trended down too: 57th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024, then 44th percentile and 2 stars, then 36th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026 — now 8 points below the district.
Beaver Brook Elementary looks stronger on resources: a student-teacher ratio of 12.5 versus 14.9 at Woodsdale, and per-student spending of $14,977 (2020–2021) versus $14,611 — about $366, or 2.5%, more per student. Though Beaver Brook has more students overall, its per-grade size is smaller (roughly 164 vs 186). Its rank history is older (2014–2015 through 2016–2017), in the low-30s to low-40s percentile range with 2 stars, so it may not reflect the current K–2 configuration. Free/reduced lunch percentages are blank/suppressed for both schools and should be treated as unknown, not zero.
