Summary

Malcolm White is a K–5 elementary school in Woburn, MA, serving 323 students as one of several neighborhood elementary schools in the Woburn district, which ranks 221 of 351 Massachusetts districts. The school itself is performing above that district-level profile: in 2025–2026 it ranked 425 of 899 schools statewide (53rd percentile, 3 stars), a clear improvement from 2023–2024, when it ranked 655 of 916 (28th percentile, 1 star).

Literacy and math are the strengths. In 2025–2026, 46.1% of students met expectations in English Language Arts and 43.87% in math, both above the Woburn district (36.47% and 33.38%) and the state. Science is the exception at 29.41%, below both district and state. That weakness is concentrated in 5th grade, where ELA and math both sit at 26.42% and science at 29.41% — while 3rd grade posts 61.54% in ELA and 62.26% in math. Among the seven Woburn elementary schools, Malcolm White ranks third in ELA and math but fifth in science, behind Linscott-Rumford, Clyde Reeves, Hurld-Wyman, and Shamrock.

The school also stands out for how well it serves specific groups. In 2025–2026, Hispanic students ranked at the 78th percentile, English language learners at the 73rd, and special education students at the 75th — all well above the school's overall 53rd percentile, and a marked reversal from two years earlier. Class sizes are relatively small (10.7 students per teacher), and per-student spending was $17,570 (2020–2021), mid-to-low locally. Compared with Stoneham's South and Robin Hood, results are roughly comparable in ELA; against Winchester's Muraco Elementary and Lynch Elementary, both at the 95th percentile, the gap is large.
