Summary:
ZIP code 01772 covers Southborough, Massachusetts, where three elementary schools together serve roughly 906 students from prekindergarten through grade 5: Mary E Finn School (PK–1), Albert S. Woodward Memorial School (grades 2–3), and Margaret A Neary (grades 4–5). All three belong to the Southborough district, which ranks 11th of 351 districts statewide, at the 97th percentile with 5 stars.
Among the tested schools, Margaret A Neary is the clearest standout. Its state rank climbed from 39th of 916 in 2023–2024 to 37th of 906 in 2024–2025 and 23rd of 899 in 2025–2026, placing it in roughly the top 2.6% of ranked schools. Its 2025–2026 math proficiency is 81.99%, above the district's 73.67% and far above the state's 41.11%. Albert S. Woodward Memorial School posted exceptional 2024–2025 results — 83.33% in ELA and 82.44% in math — and stayed strong in 2025–2026 at 68.67% and 72.67%. Science was more variable, with Neary slipping from 81.21% in 2024–2025 to 69.84% in 2025–2026. Because each school tests only certain grades, year-over-year changes may reflect different student cohorts rather than a schoolwide trend.
Mary E Finn School cannot be compared on test scores because it serves PK–1, but it has the largest enrollment (345), the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.8), and the lowest per-student spending ($17,591). Resources rise with grade level: Woodward reports $21,078 and 13.6, while Neary reports $21,229 and 14.4. Free/reduced lunch percentages are not reported for any of the three schools, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed, and the spending figures come from 2020–2021 while ratios and test scores are more recent.
