Woburn

Woburn has 10 schools serving about 4,520 students: 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, in a city just north of Boston. The Woburn district ranks 221 of 351 statewide, at the 37th percentile with 2 stars, but that single figure hides wide differences among individual schools. Free/reduced lunch data is blank for every school, so economic context cannot be compared here. Enrollment ranges from 209 students at Linscott-Rumford to 1,259 at Woburn High.

Two elementary schools stand out. Linscott-Rumford is the top-ranked school at the 65th percentile with 3 stars, posting the strongest math (49.56) and science (52.78) results in the district, above both district and state averages. Clyde Reeves is close behind at the 62nd percentile and 3 stars, with the highest ELA score (48.65). Malcolm White is the clearest improver, climbing from the 28th percentile and 1 star to the 53rd percentile and 3 stars, though its science score of 29.41 is a weak spot. Goodyear Elementary School is the only 1-star school, at the 16th percentile, with scores around 21–23% in all subjects and three straight years of decline.

Among middle schools, Daniel L Joyce Middle School (54th percentile) outranks John F Kennedy Middle School (44th) and beats it in ELA (39.90 vs 32.48) and math (35.27 vs 26.88). Woburn High sits at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars; its graduation rate of 92.5% and dropout rate of 4.5% are both better than the district, and Biology End of Course at 45.22 is above the state. Math is the broadest weakness: middle school math averages 31.08 against a state figure of 41.11, and 10th grade math is 33.33 versus 43.73 statewide. Per-student spending and student-teacher ratios do not line up neatly with results.
