Summary

Toy Town Elementary is a public elementary school in Winchendon, Massachusetts, serving 276 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Winchendon school district, which is ranked 290 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Toy Town Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on MCAS assessments compared to state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 30.18% in ELA and 18.28% in Math, compared to the state averages of 41.53% and 40.74%, respectively. The school's performance is also notably worse than that of some nearby schools, such as Ashby Elementary and Briggs Elementary, which are in different districts.

Toy Town Elementary's challenges extend beyond overall academic performance, as the school's student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities, also rank in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts schools in these categories. However, the school's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform better relative to their peers statewide, ranking in the middle 50% of Massachusetts schools. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 16 students per teacher, may also contribute to the persistent challenges in improving student outcomes.
