Summary:
ZIP code 01082 covers Ware, MA, and the data lists one elementary school: Stanley M Koziol Elementary School, serving grades PK–3 with 396 students in the Ware district. Because it is the only elementary school in this ZIP, there are no local school-to-school comparisons—only comparisons to the district and state. The free/reduced lunch percentage is blank/not reported, so socioeconomic context is unknown, not 0%.
In 2024-25 MCAS Next Generation, ELA proficiency was 40.28% at the school, 29.24% in the district, and 41.53% state; math was 29.17%, 23.16%, and 40.74%, respectively. In 2025-26, ELA All Grades was 32% versus 22.38% district and 40.03% state; math was 29.73% versus 20.08% district and 41.11% state. Because this PK–3 school tests only grade 3, its All Grades result is effectively the 3rd-grade result. Same-grade 2025-26 ELA was 32% versus 32.05% district and 42.79% state; 3rd-grade math was 29.73% versus 28.57% district and 42.19% state. The school generally outperforms the district but trails the state in every reported subject and year. Its best state-relative result was 2024-25 ELA, only 1.25 percentage points below the state. Math is a more persistent weakness, about 11–12.5 points below the state. ELA fell from 40.28% to 32% year over year (down 8.28 percentage points), while math rose slightly from 29.17% to 29.73%; this reflects different cohorts, not the same students.
Per-student spending was $17,346 in 2020-21, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.4:1 in 2024-25. Historically, the school had a 2-star Schooldigger rating and sat in the 31st–36th percentile from 2005-06 through 2007-08, but that ranking is too old to judge current performance. Overall, the school is a relatively strong local performer within a below-state district, but it is not yet at state proficiency levels; math is the consistent gap, while ELA has fluctuated. As the only elementary school in ZIP 01082, it is the sole public elementary option represented here.
