Summary
Robin Hood Elementary is a K–4 school at 70 Oak Street in Stoneham, MA, serving about 380 students in a suburban community north of Boston. For 2025–2026 it ranks 456th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — 49th percentile, 2 stars — placing it just below the state median, and it trails its two Stoneham district peers, Colonial Park (72nd percentile) and South (67th percentile).
In 2025–2026, all-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 43.57%, above the Stoneham district (40.91%) and the state (40.03%), while math was 40.85%, below the district's 45.11% and slightly below the state's 41.11%. Math is the clearest and most consistent weakness: Colonial Park and South posted 52.94% and 56.20% in math, and both were also far ahead the year before. Grade 4 is the weakest spot, with math at 38.24% and ELA at 35.82%, both below district and state, while grade 3 ELA is a bright spot at 50.68%, even with the district and well above the state.
Among nearby schools, Robin Hood is well above Goodyear Elementary School (21.57% ELA, 22.67% math) and roughly in line with Malcolm White and Shamrock, but far below Reading, Wakefield, and Winchester schools such as Joshua Eaton (79.19% ELA, 76.65% math). The school has ranked high before — 77th percentile, 4 stars in 2021–2022 — but has mostly hovered around the 45th–55th percentile since. Low-income students ranked in the 72nd percentile in 2025–2026, a sharp jump from 28th the year before, so treat that as promising but not yet a settled trend; special education students have climbed steadily to the 57th percentile. Per-student spending was $17,780 in 2020–2021, more than several higher-performing neighbors, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.6 — so resources alone don't explain the outcomes.
