Summary:
Zip code 01238 covers Lee, Massachusetts, and has 2 public schools serving 659 students in the Lee district: Lee Elementary for grades PK–6 (331 students) and Lee Middle/High School for grades 7–12 (328 students), so middle grades are housed within the middle/high school. The district overall ranks 180 of 351 statewide (49th percentile, 2 stars), but each school earned 3 stars in 2025–2026.
Lee Elementary is the school on the rise. It moved from 38th percentile, 2 stars to 52nd percentile, 3 stars, and its standout result is Science: 54.55% of tested grades were proficient, well above the district's 44.55% and the state's 40.98%. Fourth grade is strong in both Math (50%) and English Language Arts (47.5%), and 5th-grade Math reached 46.67%. Results are uneven, though — 6th-grade ELA was 27.27% and 6th-grade Math 36.36%, and all-grade ELA (38.76%) sits slightly below the state's 40.03%.
Lee Middle/High School combines excellent completion outcomes — a 98.2% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate — with mixed academics. Tenth-grade Math (53.57%) and ELA (48.21%), 8th-grade Math (49.23%), Biology (42.11%) and 8th-grade Civics (42.42%) all beat state averages. The clear concern is 7th-grade Math at 15.79%, versus 37.48% statewide, and all-grade ELA, Math and Science were below state. Its rank slipped from 83rd percentile, 4 stars to 140 of 353, 60th percentile, 3 stars — still higher than the elementary school. Both schools have low student-teacher ratios (9.4 and 9.1) and per-student spending of $22,126 and $20,613 in 2020–2021; free/reduced-lunch data is blank for both, so it is unknown.
