Summary:
ZIP code 01754 covers the town of Maynard, Massachusetts, a compact single-district community where Maynard Public Schools operates three buildings serving the full PK–12 pipeline — Green Meadow (PK–3), Fowler School (4–8), and Maynard High (9–12) — with 1,217 students total. Parents should note that free/reduced-lunch data is not reported for any school here, and per-pupil spending figures date to 2020–2021, five years older than the test scores.
Maynard High is the clear standout. It ranks 58th of 353 schools statewide (84th percentile, 4 stars), far above the district's overall 3-star, 54th-percentile profile. Grade 10 ELA proficiency is 78.21% against a state figure of 45.48%, with Math at 62.34% vs. 43.73% and Science at 57.89% vs. 40.5% — double-digit gaps in every subject, including Physics. The school also improved sharply while state benchmarks slipped: Grade 10 ELA rose 19.75 points and Math rose 11.57 points. Its graduation rate is 91.5%, though the 7.3% dropout rate is the one soft spot.
Fowler School is a school of two halves. Its 8th grade beats the state in all four tested subjects, led by Science at 48.42% vs. 38.93%, but Grade 5 Math (20.69%) and Science (28.74%) sit far below state, and Grade 8 Civics fell 17.59 points in a year. Fowler's statewide rank has also slid from 73rd to 60th percentile. Green Meadow is the weakest on test scores — ELA 32.18% and Math 29.55%, both well below state — though its math improved. In short, performance rises steadily the further students move through the system.
