Summary

Fletcher/Maynard Academy is an elementary school in Cambridge, MA that serves 251 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. While the Cambridge school district is ranked 81 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts, Fletcher/Maynard Academy has consistently performed below average, typically ranking in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools on academic measures.

The school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is generally below the Cambridge district and Massachusetts state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 34.65% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 58.41% in the Cambridge district and 41.53% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school performs relatively well for its African American student population, ranking in the top 30 out of 169 Massachusetts elementary schools for this subgroup.

Interestingly, the nearby Kennedy-Longfellow, Amigos School, and Martin Luther King Jr. School generally outperform Fletcher/Maynard Academy on academic measures, with Amigos School and Martin Luther King Jr. School ranking in the top 10-15% of Massachusetts elementary schools. This suggests that the challenges faced by Fletcher/Maynard Academy may be specific to the school rather than the broader Cambridge district.
