Summary

Leroy E.Mayo is a K–5 elementary school at 351 Bullard Street in Holden, Massachusetts, serving 472 students as one of three elementary schools in the Wachusett district. Mayo ranked 233rd of 899 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026 — the 74th percentile, a 4-star rating — which puts it slightly above its own district's standing. The school's trajectory is the headline: after a low point in 2021–2022 (385th of 932, 59th percentile, 3 stars), Mayo has risen in each reporting cycle since, gaining roughly 15 percentile points and 152 rank positions over four years. This is its best statewide result since 2017–2018.

Academically, Mayo is above both its district and the state in English language arts (51.98%), mathematics (54.98%), and science (61.46%). Science is where Mayo separates from its Holden peers: it is the only one of the three town elementaries whose science score beats the district average, well ahead of Davis Hill Elementary (48.86%) and Dawson (49.25%). Mayo also leads both neighbors in math, but trails them in ELA. Grade-level data shows the strength sits in the upper grades — 5th grade math at 64.21% and 5th grade science at 61.46% — while 3rd grade math (48.72%) is the one clear soft spot, below district. Among student groups, special education is a durable strength, ranking in the top 8–11% of the state for three straight years (92nd percentile, 5 stars).

Mayo was the only Holden elementary to improve in 2025–2026: its percentile rose from 68th to 74th while Davis Hill Elementary and Dawson both declined. Math has become the school's most improved subject, moving from below its district in 2024–25 to above it this year, and every student group that dipped in 2023–2024 has since recovered. Two things are worth watching: the year-to-year volatility in science, and the 3rd grade math result. Mayo's reported per-student spending was $13,283 (2020–2021) — lower than schools in the nearby Worcester district, though those figures are several years old and not adjusted for student need.
