Summary:

Quincy serves roughly 9,769 students across 19 schools — 12 elementary, 5 middle, and 2 high schools — in a district rated 183 of 351 statewide (48th percentile, 2 stars), a single rating that masks wide differences among individual schools.

Four-star standouts include Wollaston School at the elementary level, ranked 100 of 899 (89th percentile) with ELA at 62.26%, math at 66.25%, and science at 72.22% — roughly 20 points above both district and state averages. Central Middle ranks 60 of 478 (87th percentile) and leads all middle schools in every tested subject, with 7th-grade ELA at 73.06%. North Quincy High ranks 75 of 353 (79th percentile), beats district and state averages in ELA, math, science, and biology, and posts a 94.2% graduation rate with a 1.6% dropout rate. Other strong choices include Beechwood Knoll Elementary (77th percentile), Montclair (74th), Atlantic Middle (71st), Charles A Bernazzani Elementary, and Merrymount.

Challenges cluster at Atherton Hough (15th percentile, 1 star; ELA 14.29%, science 18.00%) and Snug Harbor Community School (22nd percentile, 1 star), while Dr. Rick DeCristofaro Learning Center has no rank and reports 0% proficiency. The high schools split sharply: Quincy High is 2-star and sits below district and state in every subject. Spending and student-teacher ratios do not track outcomes — Snug Harbor spends the most ($18,767) yet is 1-star, while Montclair spends the least ($15,045) and is 4-star. Trends are mixed: Beechwood Knoll, North Quincy High, and Quincy High improved; Atherton Hough, Clifford Marshall, Point Webster, and Squantum declined. Free/reduced-lunch data is missing entirely, limiting equity conclusions.
