Belmont

The Belmont school district in Massachusetts is home to 6 exceptional schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools consistently rank among the top performers in the state, with several earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

The standout schools in the district include Winthrop L Chenery Middle, which is ranked 5th out of 501 Massachusetts middle schools, and Belmont High, which is ranked 6th out of 348 Massachusetts high schools. Both schools boast impressive test scores, with 68-74% of students proficient or better in core subjects. The elementary schools, Winn Brook and Mary Lee Burbank, are also standouts, ranking 2nd and 1st in the state, respectively, with similarly high test scores.

Across the district, the Belmont schools consistently outperform the state average on MCAS assessments, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher. The district also benefits from relatively small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 12.8 to 16.0. While the district as a whole is a high-performing system, the slightly lower test scores at Daniel Butler may be an area for further investigation and improvement.
