Summary

Toy Town Elementary is a grades 3–5 school in Winchendon, MA, serving 292 students as part of the Winchendon district, which ranks 315th of 351 Massachusetts districts (10th percentile, 1 star). Toy Town's own 2025–26 rank is 723rd of 899 schools (20th percentile, 1 star), and it has stayed in the bottom quintile for years — the last time it reached 2 stars was 2015–16.

On 2025–26 MCAS Next Generation tests, 26.03% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (state 40.03%), 18.84% in math (state 41.11%), and 32.56% in science (state 40.98%). Math is the deepest and most persistent weakness: about 22 points below the state, and the school has not reached 20% math proficiency in four years, with 4th-grade math at 13.33% — the lowest among nearby schools with comparable data. Science is a relative bright spot, second among nearby schools reporting science results behind Royalston Community School's 50%, though it has slipped from 37.08% in 2023–24. ELA is uneven: 5th grade is the strongest result at 34.12%, while 4th grade dips to 16.98%.

Compared with nearby schools, Toy Town sits in the lower-middle of the local cluster: above Athol Community Elementary School, Reingold Elementary, and Gardner Elementary School in ELA and school rank, but below Crocker Elementary (in the Fitchburg district), Westminster Elementary, Templeton Elementary School, and Briggs Elementary, especially in math. Its student-teacher ratio of 16.0 in 2024–25 is the highest among nearby tested elementaries except Memorial, and has risen from 12.8 in 2023–24. Per-student spending was $15,980 in 2020–21 — more than Westminster, Templeton, Briggs, Gardner, and Reingold, several of which post higher proficiency. Subgroup ranks for low-income and special education students fell to the 22nd percentile in 2025–26 from near the 40th in 2023–24. Note that Toy Town serves only grades 3–5, small cohorts can swing year to year, and these comparisons are descriptive, not causal.
