Summary

William Seach is a K–5 elementary school at 770 Middle Street in Weymouth, Massachusetts, enrolling 372 students and standing as the second-largest of the seven elementary schools in the Weymouth district in this comparison. In 2025–2026 it ranked 637th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (29th percentile, 1 star), while the Weymouth district overall sits at the 47th percentile.

Proficiency trails both district and state in all three subjects: 27.85% in ELA, 31.85% in math and 32.69% in science, compared with 40.75%, 40.01% and 35.95% for the district. Seach is also the clear outlier among its own Weymouth peers — every other district elementary school ranks at or above the 43rd percentile, from Thomas V Nash (43) to Thomas W. Hamilton Primary School (74), and the average peer scores 43.5% ELA, 49.1% math and 50.4% science, roughly 15 to 18 points ahead of Seach in each subject. Fifth-grade ELA is the sharpest single gap at 23.08%, versus 43.87% district-wide, and fourth-grade math (36.17%) also lags a district that is unusually strong there (53.92%).

The encouraging news is a two-year uptick: rank percentile has moved 21 → 23 → 29, math rose from 25.58% to 31.85% and science from 25.76% to 32.69%, and the gap to the district narrowed in every subject (ELA −15.5 to −12.9 points, math −11.8 to −8.2, science −8.6 to −3.3). Results vary widely by student group — low-income students rank at the 42nd percentile, above the school's overall 29th, and African American, Hispanic and English Language Learner students have each earned top-third statewide rankings within the past three years — though these are small-group figures best read as directional. Staffing is mid-to-lean: the student–teacher ratio is 14.5, second-highest in the comparison group and up from 12.8, and per-pupil spending was $15,658 in 2020–21. Nearby, Hingham's Plymouth River and South Elementary and Braintree's Liberty post much higher scores, but spending alone doesn't explain the difference: Academy Avenue spends the least in the group ($14,681) yet outperforms Seach by about 23 points in ELA.
