Summary

Woodville School is a public elementary school in Wakefield, Massachusetts, serving about 456 students in grades PK–4 as part of the Wakefield school district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 228th of 899 ranked Massachusetts elementary schools — the 75th percentile, with 4 stars — and its all-grade MCAS Next Generation proficiency was 55.7% in English Language Arts and 56.38% in Math. Both are above the district's 54.87% and 54.57%, and well above the state's 40.03% and 41.11%.

Within Wakefield, Woodville sits mid-pack: Walton and Greenwood post higher proficiency in both subjects, while Woodville's ELA is above Dolbeare's. It also trails several nearby schools in other districts, including Summer Street and Huckleberry Hill in Lynnfield, plus Winthrop, Horace Mann, and Roosevelt in Melrose. Woodville does outperform Colonial Park in Stoneham while spending less per student. Its clearest academic weakness is a grade-level split: 3rd-grade ELA is strong at 67.16%, but 4th grade falls below the district in both subjects, with 4th-grade Math at 50% — 11.3 points below the district and the lowest all-grade Math result among Wakefield's four elementary schools.

The long-term story is positive: Woodville rose from the 44th–51st percentile in the mid-2010s to 80th–82nd from 2021–2022 through 2024–2025, before slipping to 75th in 2025–2026, with Math declining three years running. Subgroup results are a notable strength — low-income and special education students rank above the school's overall position, with Hispanic students in the 93rd percentile. Classes are relatively small at 12.1 students per teacher, and per-student spending is $16,402. Free/reduced-lunch data are not available for the school or its peers, and spending figures run only through 2020–2021.
