Summary

Malcolm White is an elementary school in Woburn, MA that serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has seen a decline in its academic performance and statewide ranking over the past several years, now ranking 622 out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, Malcolm White consistently underperforms compared to the Woburn district and the state of Massachusetts on MCAS assessments. The school struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools for Hispanic, White, male, and special education students. Additionally, the school's academic performance varies widely across grade levels, with 3rd graders significantly outperforming 5th graders.

Interestingly, Muraco Elementary in Winchester and South Elementary in Stoneham, both located within 2.25 miles of Malcolm White, significantly outperform the school on MCAS assessments and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that Malcolm White may need to re-evaluate its strategies and practices to improve student learning and achievement.
