Summary

Goddard School/Science Technical is a PK–6 school in Worcester, MA, serving 359 students as part of the Worcester district. It ranked 716th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 20th percentile, with 1 star — a marked improvement from a decade ago, when it sat in the 1st percentile in 2015–2016 and mostly in the 1st–5th percentile through 2019. Recent years have been stronger, reaching the 25th percentile in 2024–2025 before slipping to 20th. The Worcester district itself ranks 304th of 351 districts statewide.

On 2025–2026 MCAS, 24.5% of students met expectations in ELA, close to the district average of 24.98%; math was 22%, below the district's 24.25%; and science was 30%, above the district's 23.97%. All three remain well below state averages near 40–41%. Math is the clearest concern: grade 3 (11.76%) and grade 6 (14.29%) fall far below district and state, even though grades 4 and 5 are above district averages. Among 11 nearby schools, Goddard ranks about 6th overall and 6th in each subject — ahead of Woodland Academy, Gates Lane, Chandler Elementary Community, Canterbury, and Learning First Charter Public School, but behind Midland Street, Heard Street, May Street, Columbus Park, and Jacob Hiatt Magnet. Goddard spends more per student ($19,099 in 2020–2021) than any of these schools and has one of the lowest student–teacher ratios (12.3), yet does not lead locally.

Subgroup results are uneven. English Language Learner students rank in the 94th percentile statewide with 5 stars — 18th of 291 schools — far above the school's overall standing and up from 81st percentile in 2024–2025. Low-SES students rank near the statewide median, in the 52nd percentile. Special education students, by contrast, rank at the 6th percentile, one of the school's clearest gaps. Free/reduced-lunch data were not reported, so poverty rates are unknown.
