Summary:
Zip code 01475 covers Winchendon, Massachusetts, where two elementary schools serve a combined 560 students and together cover grades K–5 with no grade overlap: Memorial serves K–2, and Toy Town Elementary serves 3–5. Both belong to the Winchendon district, which ranks 315th of 351 districts statewide — the 10th percentile — and carries a 1-star rating. That district context matters when reading any individual school's results.
Toy Town Elementary is the only school here with MCAS results, since state testing begins in grade 3. Its scores are below state averages in every subject, though it often sits at or above its own district. Science is its relative bright spot at 32.56% proficient — about 8 points below state and slightly above the district's 30.81% — while grade 5 ELA, at 34.12%, is only about 4 points below state. Math is the clearest concern: 18.84% across all grades, roughly 22 points below state, with grade 4 math at 13.33% versus 43.20% statewide. Grade 4 is the weakest point overall, in both ELA and math. Over three years, the school's rank percentile slipped from 24 to 20, and ELA fell from 30.18% to 26.03% while math held nearly flat.
Memorial has no test-score data in this file, which reflects its K–2 grade span rather than any performance problem; its metrics here are enrollment, spending, and staffing. It spends $16,412 per student (2020–2021) versus $15,980 at Toy Town, and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio, 16.6 compared with 16.0. Free/reduced lunch figures are not reported for either school, so that percentage is unknown here. The practical takeaway for families: Toy Town's achievement results can be compared against state and district benchmarks, but Memorial's academic performance cannot be judged from this data set.
