Best Public Schools in Zip Code 02189

Summary:

The 02189 zip code area in Massachusetts is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Academy Avenue and Lawrence W Pingree) and 1 middle school (Maria Weston Chapman Middle School). These schools serve students in the Weymouth district.

Among the schools, Academy Avenue Elementary and Lawrence W Pingree Elementary stand out as the stronger performers. Academy Avenue is ranked 299 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools and has a 3-star rating, outperforming the district and state averages in MCAS proficiency, particularly in 5th grade. Lawrence W Pingree is ranked 336 and also has a 3-star rating, with above-average proficiency in several grade levels and strong 4th grade Mathematics performance.

In contrast, Maria Weston Chapman Middle School lags behind the other two schools in the area. While the schools have varying levels of performance, they all serve a predominantly white student population, with the next largest racial groups being Hispanic and African American. The differences in school spending per student do not appear to directly correlate with their academic outcomes, suggesting other factors, such as teaching quality and school leadership, may play a more significant role in student success.
