Summary
Hurld-Wyman Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 418 students in Woburn, Massachusetts, part of Woburn Public Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 466th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools — the 48th percentile with 2 stars — placing it near the state median and well above its own district, which sits in the 37th percentile. Enrollment is relatively large, second only to Clyde Reeves among the Woburn elementaries compared here.
Test scores are stronger than the Woburn district average in all three tested subjects, but mixed against the state: ELA is roughly at the state average (40.12%), math is below it (38.73%), and science is above it (44.07%). Those all-grade numbers hide a sharp split by grade. Third grade is a strength, with 58.33% proficient in ELA — nearly 16 points above the state — and 5th grade math is 45.76%, more than 6 points above the state. Fourth grade, however, is far below both district and state in ELA (23.08%) and math (20.37%), and it pulls the school average down. Scores have also declined since 2022–2023: ELA is down 11.25 points, math 8.81 points, and science 10.03 points, and the star rating slipped from 3 stars to 2.
Within Woburn, Hurld-Wyman is mid-pack. It trails Linscott-Rumford and Clyde Reeves in most subjects, outperforms Goodyear Elementary School, Mary D Altavesta, and Shamrock, and is mixed against Malcolm White — higher in ELA and math but far lower in science. Its closest outside comparison is Stoneham's Robin Hood, while Winchester's Muraco Elementary and Lynch Elementary and Burlington's Memorial score far higher. Subgroup results are uneven: effectiveness with Hispanic students is a clear strength (88th percentile, 4 stars) and special education students remain above average (69th percentile, down from 92nd), but low-income students fell from the 67th to the 34th percentile. Per-student spending was $16,502 in 2020–2021, the lowest among nearby schools, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.1 that is higher than most.
