Summary:

Framingham, Massachusetts has 15 schools serving about 10,059 students across three districts: 13 schools in Framingham Public Schools, plus Joseph P Keefe Technical High School in South Middlesex Regional Vocational Technical and Christa McAuliffe Charter School in Christa McAuliffe Charter School (District). Nine are elementary, four are middle, and two are high schools. Framingham ranks 310 of 351 districts (12th percentile, 1 star), but that district-wide figure masks wide school-to-school differences.

Hemenway is the clear academic standout — the only 3-star school here, ranked 381 of 899 (58th percentile) and the only listed school above the state in ELA (46.3%) and science (60.2%), with the highest math proficiency of any listed school (38.24%). For older students, Joseph P Keefe Technical High School posts the strongest completion outcomes: 97.1% graduation and 2.0% dropout, versus 75.7% and 15.6% at Framingham High School, though it trails Framingham High in ELA and math. Walsh Middle beats district averages in all three subjects, and Christa McAuliffe Charter School has the city's highest 8th grade civics score at 52.94%, above the state's 39.77%.

Three schools carry 0 stars and sit near the bottom of state rankings: Harmony Grove Elementary (2nd percentile, ELA 9.24%, math 7.61%, science 2.9%), Barbieri Elementary (4th percentile) and Miriam F McCarthy School (7th percentile). The gap between Hemenway and Harmony Grove Elementary in science exceeds 57 percentage points. Spending and student-teacher ratio do not clearly predict results, and free/reduced lunch data is blank for every school, so socioeconomic context cannot be examined.
