Summary

Josiah Haynes is a K–5 elementary school in Sudbury, MA, serving 397 students in a well-regarded suburban district west of Boston. It has earned 5 stars in 9 of the 10 listed school years and has never ranked below the 89th percentile in that span. In 2025–2026 it ranked 58th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 94th percentile — placing it at the top of its Sudbury peer group, one spot ahead of General John Nixon Elementary (59th) and well ahead of Peter Noyes (89th) and Israel Loring School (106th). Recent years have stayed consistently high, including 25th of 906 in 2024–2025 and 50th of 916 in 2023–2024, and the district ranks 23rd of 351 statewide.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, Haynes scored well above the state in all three subjects: 66.3% in English language arts, 73.77% in math, and 74.0% in science, compared with roughly 40–41% statewide. It is slightly below the Sudbury district average in ELA but above it in math and science, and it outperforms Peter Noyes and Israel Loring School in ELA and math. Grade-level results are especially strong in 3rd grade ELA (73.44%) and math (68.25%), both the highest among Sudbury peers, and in 5th grade ELA (74.0%), also the highest. The clearest soft spot is 4th grade ELA at 54.29%, below the district average and below all three same-district peers — notable because 4th grade math is very strong at 82.86%.

Subgroup results suggest the school is effective across populations: male students rank at the 97th percentile and special education students at the 95th percentile in 2025–2026, with special education students reaching the 100th percentile in 2024–2025. Spending was $19,817 per student in 2020–2021, in line with Sudbury peers and above Acton-Boxborough schools but below Concord's, with a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 11.8. Note that free/reduced lunch data is blank for recent years, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed, and spending figures end in 2020–2021. Even so, Haynes outranks Claypit Hill School (78th) in the latest year, despite nearby Wayland ranking higher as a district.
