Summary:

Woburn, Massachusetts has 10 public schools — seven elementary, two middle, and one high school — serving 4,520 students, with the Woburn district ranked 221st of 351 Massachusetts districts (37th percentile, 2 stars). Elementary schools hold about 50.6% of enrollment (2,285 students), middle schools 21.6% (976), and the high school 27.9% (1,259). Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every school, so socioeconomic context cannot be analyzed from this data.

The academic standouts are Linscott-Rumford and Clyde Reeves. Linscott-Rumford leads the city in math (49.56) and science (52.78) and ranks in the 65th percentile with 3 stars — all while being the smallest school (209 students) with the highest student-teacher ratio (14.8). Clyde Reeves posts the city's top ELA score (48.65), plus 46.62 in math and 47.83 in science, at the 62nd percentile. Malcolm White shows the biggest turnaround, climbing from the 28th percentile and 1 star to the 53rd percentile and 3 stars, though science remains low at 29.41. Among middle schools, Daniel L. Joyce Middle School (54th percentile, 3 stars) beats John F Kennedy Middle School (44th percentile, 2 stars) in ELA and math, where JFK's 6th grade math is 17.20 versus the state's 42.59. Woburn High trails the state in 10th grade ELA, math, and science, but its Biology End of Course score of 45.22 tops the state's 37.68, and its 92.5% graduation rate exceeds the district's 91.1%.

Schools needing attention include Goodyear Elementary School, the lowest performer (ELA 21.57, math 22.67, science 21.95; 16th percentile, 1 star, and declining), Mary D Altavesta (math 25.93, science 21.21) and Hurld-Wyman Elementary School, which slipped from the 58th to the 48th percentile. District-wide, math is the clearest weakness at 33.38 versus the state's 41.11. Elementary results spread roughly 27–32 percentage points between the top and bottom schools, and grade-level volatility is common, with some schools showing strong grade 3 cohorts and much weaker grade 4 or 5 results.
