Based on the available data, Brown Avenue School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher and achieving stronger academic results than the other schools in the district and the state average.

While Winsor Hill School has the largest student enrollment, Thornton School has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Spending per student varies significantly, with Early Childhood Center spending the most at $18,706 per student and Sarah Dyer Barnes School spending the least at $13,296 per student.
