Best Elementary Schools in Maynard, MA

The Maynard district in Massachusetts has one elementary school, Green Meadow, serving grades PK–3 with 456 students. Because it is the only elementary school in the city, parents cannot compare multiple elementary campuses; instead, the school can be compared with the district and state. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 in 2024–2025, and the district ranks 160 out of 351, at the 54th percentile with 3 stars. Per-student spending was $19,944 in 2020–2021, and free/reduced-lunch data is not reported for 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026 MCAS results, the school’s proficiency trails the state in every reported measure. ELA All Grades is 32.18% versus the state’s 40.03%, a gap of 7.85 percentage points; math All Grades is 29.55% versus 41.11%, a gap of 11.56 points. Grade 3 ELA is 10.61 points below state, and Grade 3 math is 12.64 points below state. Because the school serves PK–3, its All Grades and 3rd Grade figures are identical for both ELA and math, meaning the all-grade result effectively represents its 3rd grade cohort. Compared with the district, Grade 3 results are close—ELA is 0.40 points below and math is 0.45 points below—suggesting the district itself is below the state at grade 3. Math remains the larger academic gap.

Year over year, ELA declined more sharply at the school than in the district or state: the school fell 6.12 percentage points, the district fell 5.27 points, and the state fell 1.50 points. Math improved from 26.32% to 29.55%, a 3.23-point gain, which was larger than the district’s 2.09-point increase and the state’s 0.37-point increase, though the school still remains well below the state average. Overall, this is a single early-elementary school in a mid-pack district, with positive contextual signals such as the low student-teacher ratio and 3-star district status, but below-state proficiency and a notable math gap. The spending figure is several years older than the test data and should not be treated as current, and the free/reduced-lunch metric is not usable here.
