The Samuel W. Mason Elementary School is an award-winning pilot school located in Roxbury, Massachusetts. At the core of our community are our students, staff, and parents. Children are the heart and soul of the Mason School. We are an Effective Practice Pilot School where students are taught in fully inclusive classrooms. Teachers are dual-certified in regular and special education with extensive training in literacy, math investigations and character education. Through creative allocation of funding and commitment of caring partners, each classroom is staffed by two or more adults, resulting in a very low student-to-teacher ratio.

The Mason was named the winner of the annual Thomas W. Payzant "School on the Move" Prize at the 3rd Annual School on the Move Gala On Friday, October 17, 2008. The Mason was originally named one of three finalists from Boston Public Schools. The other 2 finalists included the Rafael Hernandez K-8 School and the F. Lyman Winship Elementary School.
The Thomas W. Payzant School on the Move Prize builds on EdVestors’ reputation for rigorous due diligence and expertise to manage a selection process with an external panel that employs both quantitative data and qualitative review. This process clearly identifies schools that are demonstrating success in accelerating student achievement among diverse populations. The Prize itself will provide both visibility and incentive to schools to share strategies and best practices with other schools.
