Summary:
ZIP code 01068 is home to a single elementary school, Oakham Center, located at 1 Deacon Allen Drive in Oakham, MA. It serves grades K–5 and enrolls 152 students as part of the Quabbin district. Because there is only one elementary school in this ZIP code, there are no local schools to compare it against; the most useful benchmarks are instead the Quabbin district and Massachusetts state averages. Per-student spending was $18,855 in 2020–2021, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.6 in 2024–2025. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, so it should be treated as unknown rather than zero.
Oakham Center's clearest strengths are English Language Arts and Science. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 48.84%, above the district's 30.97% and the state's 40.03%. Science was even stronger at 55.26%, compared with 31.85% in the district and 40.98% statewide. The school has held a 3-star rating for three consecutive years, and in 2025–2026 it ranked at the 52nd percentile of Massachusetts elementary schools — far above its own Quabbin district, which is rated 1 star, ranks 248th of 351 districts, and sits at the 29th percentile. Still, the school's own percentile has drifted slightly downward over three years, from 58 to 55 to 52.
Mathematics is the notable weakness. All-grades math proficiency was 25.88%, just below the district's 27.45% and well below the state's 41.11%. Grade-level results show a sharp split: 3rd-grade math was 59.09%, above both district and state, while 4th grade was 16.00% and 5th grade 13.16%, each far below district and state. All-grades math also fell from 41.33% in 2024–2025 to 25.88% in 2025–2026, though because these are different cohorts of students, that change should not be read as the same children declining.
