Framingham

Framingham serves roughly 8,879 students across 13 schools — nine elementary, three middle, and one high school — and the Framingham district overall ranks 310 of 351 statewide (12th percentile) with 1 star, even though individual schools range from a 3-star elementary down to three 0-star elementaries; the star spread is one school at 3 stars, four at 2 stars, five at 1 star, and three at 0 stars, with none at 4 or 5 stars.

Hemenway is the clearest standout and the only 3-star school, ranking 381 of 899 (58th percentile) and improving over three years (478 → 431 → 381). Its all-grade scores are 46.3% ELA, 38.24% Math, and 60.2% Science — above the state in ELA and Science, though still below the state's 41.11% in Math. Among middle schools, Walsh Middle leads at 278 of 478 (42nd percentile, 2 stars), beating the district in all three core subjects but trailing the state in each. Framingham High School improved in rank (228 → 204) and sits above the district but below the state in 10th-grade ELA, Math, Science, and Biology, with a 75.7% graduation rate and 15.6% dropout rate. King Elementary School and Charlotte A Dunning are the next-strongest elementaries, both 2 stars and above the district in all three core subjects.

At the other end, Harmony Grove Elementary ranks 881 of 899 (2nd percentile, 0 stars) with 9.24% ELA, 7.61% Math, and 2.9% Science, and its percentile has stayed at 2, 1, and 2 over three years. Barbieri Elementary (862 of 899, 0 stars) and Miriam F McCarthy School (835 of 899, 0 stars) are also persistently low. Cameron Middle School and Fuller Middle both lag Walsh and the district. Math is the weakest subject districtwide, and no school tops the state Math average. Notably, free/reduced-lunch data is blank for every school, so student need cannot be compared and gaps should not be attributed to school quality alone.
