Summary

North Randolph Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Randolph, MA, serving 282 students—the smallest enrollment among the four elementary schools in the Randolph district comparison—within a district that ranks 323rd of 351 in Massachusetts, yet it is by far the strongest-performing school in that district. Its statewide rank improved to 518th of 899 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2025-26, its best showing since 2017-18 and up from 608th (33rd percentile) the year before. The longer trend has been uneven but is now moving upward: after bottoming out at the 17th percentile in 2015-16 and sagging to the 27th percentile in 2020-21, it has climbed 33 → 36 → 35 → 33 → 42.

Compared with its Randolph peers, North Randolph is a clear outlier. It outperforms the district average by 13.8 points in ELA, 20.0 in math, and 17.9 in science, and beats the next-best Randolph school, Margaret L. Donovan, by 12.8 / 19.5 / 15.9 points. It roughly quadruples the ELA and math proficiency of Martin E Young Elementary, and it also edges past the state average in math (42.1 vs 41.1) while trailing it in ELA (33.8 vs 40.0) and science (34.9 vs 41.0). Grade-level results are mixed: 3rd grade math is 65.85%, above the state’s 42.19%, but 4th grade ELA is 24.49% and 5th grade math is 27.9%, both below state. With roughly 45–55 students per grade, these swings should be read cautiously.

Out of district, schools such as Hollis, Mary E Flaherty School, Highlands, and Liberty in Braintree, Lt Peter M Hansen in Canton, Joseph R Dawe Junior Elementary in Stoughton, and Holbrook’s John F Kennedy generally outscore North Randolph, often with comparable or lower per-student spending. North Randolph spends $19,572 per student (2020-21) and has a 10.9:1 student-teacher ratio. Its low-income students rank 91st percentile (5 stars), up from 38th percentile two years earlier. ELA/literacy is the clearest lever for improvement, especially 4th grade. Caveats: free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable, spending figures are older, and subgroup ranks compare similar schools rather than absolute achievement.

Lyons is a great little neighborhood school! The teachers/principal care deeply about the children, their needs and education and are responsive to parent engagement. All three of my children are attending. Close Quote
