Summary

Woodville School is an elementary school located in Wakefield, MA, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 450 students. It is part of the highly-ranked Wakefield school district and has consistently been among the top 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past several years.

Woodville School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the Wakefield district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS Next Generation assessments for both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance is particularly noteworthy for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who often face additional challenges in academic achievement. Woodville School's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.1 to 12.2 over the past three school years, is another factor that likely contributes to its success.

While Woodville School's overall performance is impressive, it is interesting to note that some nearby schools, such as Summer Street in Lynnfield and Horace Mann in Melrose, have even higher academic achievement levels. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Woodville School to learn from the best practices of these higher-performing schools and continue to improve its already strong performance.
