Summary:

Everett, Massachusetts has nine schools serving about 7,700 students: one high school, six elementary schools (a mix of K–5 and K–8), and two alternative K–12 schools, with no standalone middle school because grades 6–8 are housed inside the elementary buildings. The Everett district enrolls 6,934 of those students, while Pioneer Charter School of Science adds 795 in its own charter district. The Everett district ranks 319th out of 351 statewide — the 9th percentile, with 0 stars.

The clearest academic standout is Pioneer Charter School of Science, where all-grade proficiency is 59.41% in ELA, 68.55% in math, and 70.16% in science, all well above the state's 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%; its 10th-grade results reach 84.91% in ELA and 86.79% in math. Among district schools, Webster School leads every core subject at 32.09% ELA, 34.33% math, and 40.48% science — essentially matching the state in science — and is the only district school at 2 stars, in the 37th percentile. Sumner G. Whittier School is next in ELA at 31.17% and has risen from the 17th to the 26th percentile, with 7th-grade ELA at 45.00%, above the state's 39.91%. Lafayette School is steadier, reaching the 26th percentile.

Most other district schools trail the state substantially: all-grade ELA runs from 18.98% to 32.09%, math from 17.49% to 34.33%, and science from 14.72% to 40.48%. Everett High, the largest school with 2,307 students, sits below state in 10th-grade ELA, math, and science, though Physics EOC is a bright spot at 47.06% against the state's 46.58%. Parlin School posts the lowest elementary results alongside the highest student/teacher ratio (14.0) and the lowest per-student spending ($14,506 in 2020–21). Devens School, with only 38 students, is an alternative setting where rates swing widely. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for every school, so economic context cannot be compared here.
