Summary

Mary K. Goode Elementary School is a grades 1–5 school in Middleborough, MA, serving 590 students as part of the Middleborough district, which ranks 253rd of 351 districts statewide (28th percentile, 1 star).

Statewide, Mary K. Goode ranked 444th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 — 51st percentile, 3 stars — an improvement from 527th of 906 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025 and one of its better recent years. Its all-grade scores are 41.27 in ELA, 39.34 in math, and 51.16 in science, compared with district averages of 31.43, 28.70, and 39.20. That puts the school above the state in ELA (40.03) and science (40.98) but below it in math (41.11). The most striking comparison is Henry B. Burkland Elementary School, just 0.08 miles away, with the same grades 1–5, similar enrollment, and similar spending per student — yet it scores 31.07 in ELA, 26.47 in math, and 30.30 in science, roughly 10 to 21 points lower depending on the subject. Higher-ranked nearby options such as George R Austin Intermediate School and Laliberte Elementary School are notably stronger in math.

The clearest strengths are third grade, where ELA and math beat both district and state, and fifth-grade science at 51.16 versus 43.07 statewide. The clearest concern is math, which has slipped from 45.05 in 2023–24 to 39.34, with fourth-grade math (32.77 versus 43.20 statewide) and fifth-grade math (35.66 versus 39.50) both trailing the state. Results also vary widely across student groups; low-income students and students with disabilities rank around or above the middle of statewide peer schools, though small group sizes mean those figures should be read with caution.
