Summary

Claypit Hill School is a K–5 elementary school with 495 students in Wayland, Massachusetts, part of the Wayland Public Schools district, which ranks 9th out of 351 Massachusetts districts.

By state standards, Claypit Hill is a strong school: it ranks 78th out of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (91st percentile, 5 stars), and its MCAS proficiency rates run roughly 23 points above the state in English language arts, 28 points above in math, and 30 points above in science. Within Wayland, though, it sits behind its two elementary peers — Happy Hollow School and Loker School — in all three core subjects, and it is the lowest-ranked of the three. Its scores also fall below the Wayland district average in every subject, with the largest gap in ELA.

Looking at trends, science is Claypit Hill's relative strength, while math has slipped steadily over four years, from 74.19% to 69.00%, and ELA remains below its 2022–2023 level despite a rebound. Third-grade math is a bright spot, beating both the district and Loker's third grade, but third-grade ELA is nearly 6.3 points below the district. Compared with nearby schools, Claypit Hill outperforms Israel Loring School and Lincoln School in ELA and math and far outpaces Mary E Stapleton Elementary, while Country and Woodland (PK–3 schools) score higher. Class sizes here are smaller than at Happy Hollow and Loker, yet scores trail, so class size and spending alone do not explain the differences. One area to watch: the low-income subgroup ranked in the 34th percentile, down from the 92nd two years earlier, while special education students ranked in the 92nd percentile.
