Summary:
ZIP code 01093 covers Whately, Massachusetts, and contains just one public school: Whately Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 133 students, which also makes up the entire Whately district — there are no middle, high, or alternative schools in the ZIP, so families would look outside the area for secondary schooling.
Science is the standout strength. All-grade science proficiency was 64.71% in 2025–26 compared with 40.98% statewide, about 23.7 percentage points above the state, and 5th grade science was 64.71% versus 43.07% statewide. That subject also improved year over year, from 56.25% to 64.71%. Other bright spots include 5th grade math at 58.82% (about 19.3 points above the state's 39.50%) and 6th grade ELA at 55.56% (about 15.3 points above the state's 40.26%). In 2024–25 the school exceeded the state in all three reported subjects by double digits, and its student-teacher ratio was a low 8.2 students per teacher, with per-student spending of $22,207 in 2020–21.
Results are uneven across grades. In 2025–26, all-grade ELA was only 1.15 points above the state and all-grade math only 0.92 points above, a sharp drop from 2024–25, when math fell nearly 17 percentage points year over year. Several grade/subject combinations fell below state benchmarks, including 4th grade ELA at 26.67% (about 10.8 points below state), 3rd grade math at 31.58% (about 10.6 points below), and 6th grade math at 33.33% (about 9.3 points below). With only 133 students, grade cohorts are tiny, so year-to-year swings may reflect cohort changes rather than school quality. The school has held 3 stars for the last three years, ranking 303 of 906 (67th percentile) in 2024–25 and 407 of 899 (55th percentile) in 2025–26; the district ranks 185 of 351 with 2 stars. The 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch figure is blank and should be treated as unknown.
