Summary

Wessagusset Elementary School in North Weymouth, Massachusetts serves 328 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Weymouth School District, which is ranked 196 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Wessagusset itself has a 3-star rating and has been ranked between 300 and 686 out of around 900-940 Massachusetts elementary schools over the past 10 years.

One of Wessagusset's notable strengths is its performance for low-income students, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools in this subgroup for the past 3 years. The school has also performed better for female students than male students, ranking in the top 40% for female students compared to the top 50% for male students. Wessagusset's MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par with or slightly above the Weymouth district and Massachusetts state averages, with particularly strong 3rd-grade ELA and Mathematics results.

However, Wessagusset's overall statewide ranking has steadily declined from the top 33% of Massachusetts elementary schools in 2014-2015 to the bottom 40% in recent years, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance. Additionally, while the school excels for low-income and female students, its performance for other subgroups, such as special education and disabled students, has been more inconsistent. Compared to nearby schools, Wessagusset's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than other Weymouth district schools, but it lags behind the high-performing Wm. L. Foster Elementary School in the neighboring Hingham district.
