Summary

Shamrock is a PK–5 elementary school in Woburn, MA — a small city roughly 10 miles north of Boston — serving 284 students as part of the Woburn district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 508th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools, placing it in the 43rd percentile with 2 stars. That is an improvement over the low-30s percentile ranks of the early 2020s, but still below its earlier highs of the 2016–2018 period. On 2025–2026 MCAS tests, all-grade proficiency was 35.29% in English Language Arts, 38.66% in math, and 44.12% in science — science above both district and state averages, math above the district but below the state, and ELA below both.

Two features make Shamrock stand out among nearby schools: it has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the comparison group (10.3, versus 10.7–14.8 for same-district Woburn peers) and by far the highest per-student spending ($23,217 in 2020–2021, thousands more than any nearby school). Even so, its 43rd-percentile rank sits below most Woburn peers and all listed out-of-district neighbors. Winchester schools like Lincoln Elementary, Muraco Elementary, and Lynch Elementary are only about 1.1–1.9 miles away but post proficiency rates in the 65–86% range. Stoneham's South also outperforms Shamrock in ELA and math while spending less and having a larger classes.

Results vary a lot by grade and student group. Science has risen sharply — from 21.21% in 2023–2024 to 44.12% in 2025–2026 — but is tested only in 5th grade, so it swings with a single cohort. Fifth grade is relatively strong overall, while 3rd-grade ELA (31.25%) and 4th-grade math (25%) lag well behind district and state. Among student groups in 2025–2026, Shamrock ranked near the middle or above for female (58th percentile), Hispanic (63rd), and low-SES students (57th), but lower for male students (30th) and special education students (24th percentile in 2024–2025).
