Summary:

Zip code 02777 covers Swansea, Massachusetts, where four elementary schools serve roughly 987 students, all within the Swansea district. Two schools — Mark G Hoyle Elementary (PK–2) and Gardner (K–2) — serve the earliest grades and enroll 510 students combined, while Elizabeth S Brown and Joseph G Luther (both grades 3–5) enroll 477. The district ranks 146th out of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 58th percentile with 3 stars.

Only the two 3–5 schools have current MCAS results, so they are the only ones parents can compare on achievement. Joseph G Luther is the clearest momentum story: it rose from 44th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024 to 59th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, and its Math score of 48.98% is the highest all-grade subject result among the two tested schools, with 4th-grade Math at 61.33%. Elizabeth S Brown is the largest school, with 283 students, and holds 3 stars, but its rank percentile has slipped from 62nd to 56th. Brown's standout is Science at 48.81%, which is 7.83 points above the state; Luther leads both schools in ELA and Math.

On resources, Mark G Hoyle Elementary has the smallest classes at 11.7 students per teacher and the highest per-pupil spending at $17,591, while Gardner has the largest classes at 18.5 students per teacher and the lowest spending at $13,430. Neither K–2 school has current test scores in this data, so their resource differences cannot be tied to proficiency. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for all four schools — that means unknown, not zero — so no poverty or equity comparison is possible here.
