About the School
The Philbrick’s small size enables teachers to provide personal attention to all children and establish an environment that is both intimate and nurturing. We use a workshop approach to reading, writing, and mathematics instruction. We also provide specialty classes in science, music, physical education, and art and we establish extensive business, community, and family partnerships.
School Performance
Student performance data displayed below is from Next Generation MCAS results. For more data on schools, please visit the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) website. For schools with multiple campuses, the data below represents all schools in that network, not just the single school, unless otherwise noted. If data is not shown, it is not available for that school (e.g. the school might not serve any tested grades, or be too small to publicly release its scores).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DESE did not issue school, district, or state accountability determinations for the 2019-2020 school year due to the cancellation of state assessments and school closures related to COVID-19. As a result, there is no student performance data available from the state for school year 2019-2020.
