Summary

Gov Edward Winslow is a K–5 elementary school in Marshfield, MA, serving 357 students as part of the Marshfield district on Massachusetts' South Shore. In 2025–2026 it ranked 231st of 899 schools statewide — 74th percentile, 4 stars — above its own district (104th of 351, 4 stars) and the state average. That is still a notable drop from earlier years: it ranked 17th of 942 in 2018–2019 and 18th of 936 in 2020–2021, both 98th percentile with 5 stars.

Test scores remain a strength. In 2025–2026, proficiency was above both district and state in every tested subject: ELA 52.87% (district 45.63%, state 40.03%), math 58.96% (54.85%, 41.11%), and science 55.56% (46.00%, 40.98%). Grade-level results are uneven — 3rd grade math is the soft spot at 44.07%, far below the district's 60.97%, while 4th and 5th grades are stronger, with 4th grade ELA at 63.46% and 5th grade math at 64.52%. Trends have drifted downward: math fell from 72.04% in 2023–2024 to 58.96%, and ELA from 66.67% in 2022–2023 to 52.87%. Science has held steadier in the mid-50s.

Among Marshfield elementary peers, Gov Edward Winslow ranks second behind Eames Way School (142/899, 84th percentile), which outperformed it in ELA and math, and ahead of South River (247/899), Daniel Webster (296/899), and Martinson Elementary (474/899). Nearby, Alden School in Duxbury (146/899) scored higher in all three subjects, while North Pembroke Elementary had higher math and science but lower ELA; Kingston Intermediate and Hobomock Elementary trailed in every subject. Subgroup effectiveness has slipped — special education students fell from the 98th percentile in 2023–2024 to 68th in 2025–2026.
