Elementary Schools in Weymouth

Summary:

The Weymouth school district in Massachusetts is home to 9 elementary schools serving grades ranging from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. While the district as a whole is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, there is a wide range of academic performance among the individual schools, with some standouts and others lagging behind.

The top-performing elementary schools in Weymouth are Thomas W. Hamilton Primary School and Academy Avenue, both of which consistently outperform the district and state averages on MCAS test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. Another solid performer is Wessagusset, which scores above the district and state in most areas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data also reveals a potential correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, with the higher-spending schools like Johnson Early Childhood Center and Thomas V. Nash tending to have stronger outcomes. Additionally, the data highlights the critical importance of a strong foundation in the early elementary grades, as students in 3rd and 4th grade generally outperform their 5th-grade counterparts on MCAS tests across the Weymouth district.
