Summary:
Zip code 02368 (Randolph) is served by four elementary schools — J F Kennedy Elementary, Margaret L Donovan, Martin E Young Elementary, and North Randolph Elementary School — spanning pre-kindergarten through grade 5 and enrolling about 1,470 students combined, all within the Randolph district, which ranks 323 of 351 districts statewide at the 8th percentile with 0 stars.
North Randolph is the clear standout: it is the only school above the district in all three subjects and the only one above the state in any all-grade subject, with Math at 42.11% versus the state's 41.11%. It holds the best rank in the group (518 of 899, 42nd percentile, 2 stars), is improving — rank percentile moved 35 → 33 → 42 over three years — and has the smallest enrollment (282) and second-lowest per-student spending ($19,572). At the opposite end, Martin E Young is the most acute concern: all-grade proficiency is under 10% in ELA (8.78%), Math (9.40%), and Science (9.80%), it ranks 879 of 899 at the 2nd percentile with 0 stars, and scores declined in every subject year over year.
The other two schools are stable but low. Margaret L Donovan declined sharply, with Math falling from 33.84% to 22.63% and Science from 34.67% to 18.97%, while its rank percentile dropped from 28 to 14. J F Kennedy, the largest school (453 students) with the highest per-student spending ($25,979), has hovered between the 13th and 16th percentile for three years. Notably, 4th grade ELA is a shared weakness — every school trails the state there. Spending and student-teacher ratios show no simple relationship with outcomes, and free/reduced lunch data is unavailable for all four schools.
