Haggerty

Haggerty Elementary School serves 229 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — placing it 16th among 1,791 public schools statewide and outperforming 99% of Massachusetts schools. That puts Haggerty in the top fraction of a percent for the entire state, not just its city.

The school's 7.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio is a standout structural advantage. With fewer than eight students per teacher, kids get consistent individual attention at every grade level. Growth is where Haggerty separates itself most sharply: a 9.7 out of 10 growth score signals that students here don't just arrive with advantages — they advance faster than peers at comparable schools.

Within Cambridge, Haggerty ranks 4th of 20 public schools, a strong showing in a city with high academic expectations. Families comparing elementary options across the state should note its rank of 14th among 1,022 elementary schools in Massachusetts — a position that reflects sustained performance, not a single strong year. For parents who prioritize measurable student progress alongside raw academic achievement, Haggerty's numbers make a compelling case on their own.

With a student-teacher ratio of 7.9:1, Haggerty offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
