Summary
Martin E Young Elementary is a K–5 school in Randolph, MA, serving 320 students as part of the Randolph school district. In 2025–26, it ranks 879th of 899 elementary schools statewide—2nd percentile, 0 stars—and its district ranks 323rd of 351, 8th percentile, 0 stars. Its rank has fallen from 657th of 942 (30th percentile, 2 stars) in 2018–19 to 879th of 899 (2nd percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–26, with a sharp recent drop: 13th percentile in 2023–24, 8th percentile in 2024–25, and 2nd percentile in 2025–26.
In 2025–26 MCAS, Martin E Young Elementary reports 8.78% ELA, 9.4% math, and 9.8% science—below every same-district peer in all three subjects. North Randolph Elementary School, just 2.69 miles away, reports 33.83% ELA, 42.11% math, and 34.88% science, roughly 3.9×, 4.5×, and 3.6× higher. Margaret L Donovan and J F Kennedy Elementary also outperform it. Nearby non-Randolph schools show the gap: Joseph R Dawe Junior Elementary in Stoughton (55.17% ELA, 47.7% math, 56.25% science), Highlands and Liberty in Braintree (math above 59%), and John F Kennedy in Holbrook (35.12% ELA, 34.01% math, 64.04% science). Proficiency has trended down in all subjects since 2022–23 or 2023–24.
The school is below the Randolph district average in every grade and subject in 2025–26, so the weakness is school-wide. Subgroup effectiveness is low across nearly all reported populations, including low-income students (734th of 742, 1st percentile), English learners (286th of 291, 2nd percentile), and special education students (666th of 709, 6th percentile). Resources do not obviously explain the outcomes: 2020–21 per-student spending was $22,636, high compared with most nearby schools, and the 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 11.4, moderate for the area. The results point more toward instructional implementation, curriculum, intervention systems, or other school-level factors than to funding or class size alone.
