Summary

Academy Avenue is a K–5 elementary school at 94 Academy Avenue in Weymouth, MA, serving 357 students — the second-largest enrollment among Weymouth's six elementaries. In 2025–2026 it ranked 299th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (67th percentile, 3 stars) and has held in the mid-60s to low-70s for three straight years, well above its district: Weymouth ranks 187th of 351 statewide (47th percentile, 2 stars).

The school beats its district in every subject tested — about 10 points higher in English language arts (50.82% vs. 40.75%), 7 points in math (47.28% vs. 40.01%), and 25 points in science (61.02% vs. 35.95%). Science is the standout, though it is tested only in grade 5, so that number reflects a single cohort. Strength is concentrated in the upper grades: fifth grade posts 63.79% in ELA and 61.02% in science, while third grade is closer to average and fourth-grade math (51.61%) sits slightly below district. Among nearby schools, Academy Avenue and Frederick C Murphy are essentially tied at the top of Weymouth (67 vs. 68), but Academy Avenue is steadier over three years (67/63/67 vs. 68/52/51). It also outperforms every Quincy and Braintree school here, though Plymouth River in Hingham, 2.13 miles away, reaches the 98th percentile — a district-level gap more than a school-level one.

Two patterns matter most. The school serves its low-income students especially well — 74th percentile, above its own 67th, for three straight years. Special education performance, however, has slipped from 66th to 45th percentile, now below the state median. Academy Avenue achieves its results with the lowest per-pupil spending ($14,681) and the highest student-teacher ratio (15.1) in the comparison group.

Teachers are great; leadership is lacking. Principal is more interested in appearance and ranking than in student success. Close Quote
