Village School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Village School is a grade 4–6 school serving 529 students in Marblehead, MA, a coastal town roughly 15 miles north of Boston. On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, it scored above the Massachusetts average in all three subjects, and its standout result is science: 69.28% of students met or exceeded expectations, 28.30 points above the state and the highest mark of any nearby middle school.

Science is also the school's biggest story of improvement. Proficiency climbed from 57.31% in 2022–2023 to 69.28% in 2025–2026, an 11.97-point gain, including a 7.35-point jump in the last year alone. That science rate leads every comparison school, including Marblehead Veterans Middle School (62.64%), Swampscott Middle (55.48%), Marblehead Community Charter Public School (52.22%), Beverly Middle School (48.54%), Holten Richmond Middle School (38.71%), Collins Middle (30.84%), and Lynn's J Henry Higgins Middle School (25.76%), Breed Middle School (16.67%), Pickering Middle (12.86%), and Thurgood Marshall Mid (12.50%).

In ELA, 53.50% of students were proficient (13.47 points above the state) and in math 56.48% (15.37 points above). Both rank second among nearby schools, behind only Marblehead Veterans, and Village leads every other-district school by wide margins. Village's all-grade ELA and math figures sit slightly below the Marblehead district averages, but at the grades it actually serves—4th, 5th, and 6th—it edges district grade-level results in every ELA and math grade and in 5th-grade science. Two things to watch: math slipped from around 58–59% to 56.48% in 2025–2026, and ELA has not returned to its 2022–2023 level of 57.2%. Resources are favorable, with $19,285 per-student spending and a 10.9 student-teacher ratio, though socioeconomic data was not available for context.
