Summary:
Winthrop, Massachusetts has four schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high school, with no alternative schools — serving about 1,961 students from prekindergarten through grade 12. As a district, Winthrop ranks 204 of 351 schools, in the 42nd percentile with 2 stars, but that overall figure hides large differences between the individual schools.
Winthrop Middle School is the clear standout: 127 of 478 schools, 73rd percentile, 4 stars, and stable at that level across three years. It beats the state in ELA (51.93% vs 40.03%) and math (53.78% vs 41.11%), though science trails the state (36.96% vs 40.98%), and it has the lowest student/teacher ratio at 13.2. Winthrop High School is more mixed — 183 of 353, 48th percentile, 2 stars, down from 3 stars in 2023–24. Its 10th-grade math is strong (52.17% vs 43.73%), but ELA, science, and biology EOC are all below the state. Its graduation rate is 91.2% and dropout rate 5.0%.
Arthur T. Cummings Elementary School has the weakest tested results, at 596 of 899 schools, 34th percentile, 2 stars, and declining. ELA and math sit about 8–10 points below the state, with 3rd-grade math especially low (22.3% vs 42.19%), while its science score is above the state. William P. Gorman/Fort Banks Elementary serves PK–2, so it has no current MCAS results; it does have the highest per-student spending at $17,647. Note that free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for every school, and spending data is from 2020–2021.
