Summary

Goodnow Brothers Elementary School is a K–5 school in Marlborough, MA, serving 781 students — by a wide margin the largest school in this comparison group — inside the Marlborough district, which ranks 290th of 351 districts statewide (17th percentile, 1 star). The school itself ranked 614th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 (32nd percentile, 2 stars), roughly 15 percentile points above its own district's standing and the highest-ranked of Marlborough's four elementary schools.

On the 2025–2026 MCAS, 33.6% of students were proficient in English language arts, 29.13% in math, and 31.78% in science. Goodnow outperforms its district in all three — by 6.1 points in ELA, 5.2 in math, and 9.1 in science — but trails the state in every subject, with the widest gap in math (about 12 points). Against nearby Marlborough schools, it leads Francis J. Kane, Charles Jaworek School, and Richer in ELA and math, beating Richer in math by nearly 10 points. Science is the exception, where Kane's 36.62% is higher.

Trends are mixed. ELA has risen about 9 points over three years and science about 8, but math has slipped two years running and is back to its 2022–23 level. Fourth-grade math (36.3%) is a clear strength, while fifth-grade math (20.16%) falls below the district — a 16-point gap inside one building that may reflect a single cohort rather than a lasting pattern. English Language Learner results have slid from the 38th to the 16th percentile over three years, while low-income students climbed from the 26th to the 48th. Goodnow spends $16,612 per student, the least of any school compared here. Within about four miles, outcomes range from Margaret A Neary at the 97th percentile to C A Farley at the 15th, with Hudson's Forest Avenue Elementary and Mulready Elementary also posting higher proficiency. Free/reduced-lunch figures are not reported, so poverty context can't be confirmed.
