Summary:
Randolph, Massachusetts has six public schools serving about 2,875 students in all — four elementary schools (PK–5 or K–5), one middle school (grades 6–8), and one high school (grades 9–12) — and the Randolph district overall ranks 323 of 351 districts statewide, in the 8th percentile with 0 stars. That context matters, because every school in the city shares that low district profile. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank in this extract, so comparisons by economic disadvantage cannot be made, and spending data are from 2020–2021 while most test and rank data are from 2025–2026.
North Randolph Elementary School is the clear bright spot. It is the smallest elementary school (282 students) yet holds the best rank in the city — 518 of 899, 42nd percentile, 2 stars, the only current 2-star school in Randolph. It is also the only school with an all-grades subject above the state average (math at 42.11%), and its 3rd-grade math result of 65.85% proficient is the strongest single score in this data set. At the other end, Martin E Young Elementary sits at 879 of 899, 2nd percentile, 0 stars, with ELA at 8.78%, math at 9.40%, and science at 9.80% — roughly 31 percentage points below the state in every subject, and declining.
Among the rest, Randolph High is improving: its rank percentile rose from 15% to 26%, and 10th-grade math climbed from 25.71% to 37.13%, though science remains weak at 17.36% versus the state's 40.50%. Randolph Community Middle slipped from 2 stars to 1, and Margaret L Donovan fell from the 28th to the 14th percentile. J F Kennedy Elementary spends the most per student ($25,979) but ranks in the 13th percentile, so neither spending nor class size explains the differences. Outcomes vary widely from school to school within the city.
