Summary

Wessagusset is a K–5 elementary school in North Weymouth, Massachusetts, serving 329 students as part of the Weymouth district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 445th of 899 Massachusetts schools — the 51st percentile, with 3 stars — slightly above the Weymouth district average (47th percentile, 2 stars). MCAS Next Generation proficiency was 42.31% in ELA, 41.76% in math, and 39.68% in science; ELA and math top both district and state averages, while science beats the district (35.95%) but trails the state (40.98%).

Among nearby Weymouth elementary schools, Wessagusset ranks lowest of four: Frederick C Murphy (68th percentile), Academy Avenue (67th), and Lawrence W Pingree (55th) all rank higher, and the science gap is widest. In the wider area it sits mid-pack: well above Atherton Hough and Snug Harbor Community School, ahead of Clifford H Marshall Elementary, roughly even with Archie T Morrison, and behind Wm L Foster Elementary, Donald Ross, and Merrymount. Wessagusset also has the smallest classes among its Weymouth peers, at a 12.8 student–teacher ratio, with $16,058 in per-student spending.

Wessagusset improved from 1 star and the 27th percentile in 2018–2019 to 3 stars and the 62nd percentile in 2023–2024, then eased to 53rd and 51st. The recent slide is concentrated in math and science — science dropped from 54.72% to 39.68% over two years — while ELA has held near 41–43%. Fifth grade is the pressure point: 5th-grade math was 33.33% versus 40.47% district-wide, and 5th-grade science 39.68% versus 46.01%. Subgroup results vary widely: low-income students rank in the 78th percentile and female students in the 71st, while male students (31st), white students (36th), and special education students (47th) rank lower.
