Summary

Muraco Elementary is a K–5 school serving 352 students in Winchester, Massachusetts, a suburban community north of Boston, and it is part of the Winchester district, which ranks 7th of 351 Massachusetts districts. In 2025–2026, Muraco ranked 45th of 899 elementary schools statewide — 95th percentile, 5 stars — following a softer stretch (165th in 2023–2024) and a strong rebound (55th in 2024–2025).

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, Muraco students scored well above the state: 68.42% proficient in ELA, 71.05% in math, and 84.44% in science, compared with roughly 40–41% statewide. Against its own district, the pattern is uneven: science is 9.21 percentage points above the Winchester average, ELA is essentially at the district average, and math is 3.95 points below. Among Winchester elementaries — Ambrose Elementary, Vinson-Owen Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Lynch Elementary — Muraco's math and ELA results are comparatively lower in 2025–2026, while science is a clear strength. Grade-level results show 5th grade math (80.00%) and 5th grade science (84.44%) above district, with 3rd and 4th grade math and 4th grade ELA the relative soft spots.

Compared with nearby schools in Woburn and Stoneham, Muraco's proficiency rates are 20–50 percentage points higher — a strikingly different performance tier. The school also posts notable results for special education and disabled students, ranking at or near the top of the state for those groups across multiple years.
