Summary

Goodyear Elementary School in Woburn, MA, is a K-5 public school serving 352 students, but it currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 21st percentile statewide—a significant decline from its peak performance in 2019. This downward trend is evident across nearly all academic areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (24.84%), Math (27.78%), and 5th-grade Science (19.3%) falling well below both district and state averages. For context, nearby schools like Lynch Elementary in Winchester achieve proficiency rates of 68.1% in ELA and 65.38% in Math, while Joshua Eaton in Reading reaches 70% in ELA and 71.72% in Math—roughly two to three times higher than Goodyear’s scores.

Despite these challenges, there is a notable bright spot: Goodyear’s English Language Learner (ELL) students rank in the 49th percentile (2 stars), close to the state average, suggesting effective support for this group. However, the school struggles significantly with other subgroups, particularly White students, who rank in the 5th percentile (0 stars), and Hispanic students, who rank in the 23rd percentile (1 star). Additionally, the school’s per-student spending ($19,145) is higher than the district average and exceeds that of many high-performing neighbors, such as Joshua Eaton ($14,330) and Lincoln Elementary ($14,970), indicating that financial resources alone are not the issue.

Goodyear is the lowest-performing elementary school in the Woburn district, contrasting sharply with Hurld-Wyman Elementary School, a 3-star school in the same district. This disparity highlights how school-level factors—like leadership and demographics—can drive outcomes more than district policies. The gap is even starker when comparing Goodyear to schools in affluent Winchester, such as Muraco Elementary (87.67% science proficiency) and Lincoln Elementary (77.78% science proficiency), which outperform Goodyear by three to four times in science. For parents, this data underscores the importance of exploring school-specific programs and support systems when evaluating options.
