Summary

The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past 10 years, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is a lower-performing school compared to the state average.

Winter Hill Community significantly underperforms the Somerville district and Massachusetts state averages across all MCAS subject areas, with proficiency rates typically 10-20 percentage points below the district and state.
