Summary

Goodyear Elementary School is a K–5 school in Woburn, MA, a suburban community north of Boston, serving 352 students as part of Woburn Public Schools. In 2025–2026, it ranked 756th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools, placing it in the 16th percentile with 1 star.

The school's long-term trend is a major concern. In 2018–2019, Goodyear ranked in the 57th percentile with 3 stars; its rank has declined almost every year since, reaching its lowest point yet in 2025–2026 — a drop of 41 percentile points. Among nearby elementary schools, Goodyear is the only 1-star school, well below Shamrock (43rd percentile), Hurld-Wyman Elementary School (48th), and Malcolm White (53rd) — all in the same district. Nearby schools in other districts rank even higher, many in the 95th–98th percentiles. In 2025–2026, Goodyear's all-grade proficiency rates were 21.57% in ELA, 22.67% in math, and 21.95% in science — roughly 11–15 points below its district and 18–19 points below the state.

Grade-level results point to math as the clearest red flag: 3rd grade math at 14.89% proficient and 5th grade math at 17.07%, both far below district and state levels. Science also fell sharply from 38.10% in 2022–2023 before a slight rebound. Notably, more spending and smaller classes have not translated into better outcomes — per-student spending reached $19,145 in 2020–2021, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 11.1 in 2024–2025, yet results fell. Relative bright spots include English Language Learner and special education subgroup ranks near or above the state median, and 4th grade math close to the district average.
