Summary

Colonial Park is a K–4 elementary school in Stoneham, Massachusetts, serving 229 students as part of the Stoneham district, whose schools are compared here with nearby Melrose, Wakefield, and Woburn. The school ranks 255th of 899 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026 — the 72nd percentile with 4 stars — well above its district's 133rd-of-351 standing and up from 65th percentile the previous year.

In 2025–2026 MCAS results, 52.94% of Colonial Park students were proficient in English language arts and 52.94% in math, both clearly above the Stoneham district (40.91% and 45.11%) and the state (40.03% and 41.11%). Among Stoneham's K–4 schools, Colonial Park leads in ELA, while South leads in math (56.20%), and Robin Hood trails both. Grade 4 was a particular strength, with ELA at 54.35 and math at 52.17 — above South, Robin Hood, district, and state averages. Against other nearby districts, though, the school sits mid-tier: Horace Mann in Melrose (78.29 ELA) and Greenwood in Wakefield score considerably higher, while Colonial Park is far ahead of Goodyear Elementary School in Woburn.

Two trends are worth watching. Math proficiency has fallen four straight years, from 63.10% in 2022–2023 to 52.94% in 2025–2026, narrowing its lead over the district, while ELA rebounded from 47.31% to 52.94%. The special education subgroup ranking also dropped from the 91st percentile (5 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 58th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026 — still above median, but a notable decline. Colonial Park spends $18,515 per student (2020–2021) and had a 12.0 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, higher spending and smaller classes than several higher-scoring neighbors. Because it is a K–4 school, it has no grade 5 science results, and small subgroup sizes can affect rankings.
