Summary

Wollaston School is a K–5 elementary school in Quincy, MA, serving 318 students just south of Boston, and it is one of the highest-ranked elementary schools in the state. In 2025–2026 it ranks 100th of 899 elementary schools statewide — the 89th percentile, with 4 stars. That is a major shift: in 2020–2021 it sat at the 60th percentile, and since 2023–2024 it has held steady near the top 11% of Massachusetts. Its district, Quincy, ranks 183rd of 351 districts (48th percentile, 2 stars), so Wollaston's results are far above what the district overall would suggest.

Wollaston outranks every nearby Quincy school, including Beechwood Knoll Elementary (209th), Montclair (237th), Merrymount (344th), Charles A Bernazzani Elementary (371st), Francis W Parker (433rd), and Lincoln-Hancock Community School (568th). Proficiency is strong in every subject: ELA 62.26%, math 66.25%, and science 72.22%, against roughly 43% district and 40–41% state averages. Wollaston even matches schools from a much stronger district — Collicot and Cunningham School in Milton — and posts the highest science score of the group. Resources don't explain it: Wollaston spends $16,265 per student with a 13.2 student–teacher ratio, while Kenny Elementary School in Boston spends $26,635 with a 10.2 ratio yet reports much lower proficiency.

Subgroup results show unusual equity strength. Low-income students rank 6th of 742 schools statewide (99th percentile, 5 stars), and the school placed 3rd of 760 in 2023–2024 — top 1% of the state. Female students (91st percentile), male students (84th), and White students (78th) all rank highly, while the Asian student subgroup sits at the 40th percentile with 2 stars, a relative gap worth watching. Special education results are mixed but generally strong. Note that a 2018–2019 disabled-student figure is very old and not a current measure. Overall trends are positive, though math has softened from 75.8% in 2023–2024 to 66.25% in 2025–2026 — still far above district and state.
