Summary:

ZIP code 01238 covers Lee, Massachusetts, and contains one elementary school: Lee Elementary, located at 310 Greylock Street. It serves grades PK–6 with 331 students in the Lee district, which ranks 180 of 351 districts in the state (49th percentile, 2 stars). With only one school here, there is no local rival to compare against, but the school can be measured against its district and the state.

Lee Elementary's standout subject is science. In 2025–2026, all-grade science proficiency was 54.55%, which is 10.00 percentage points above the Lee district and 13.57 points above the state. Math is also a relative strength: all-grade math reached 42.61%, above both district and state, with 4th grade at 50.00% and 5th grade at 46.67%. ELA is more mixed — 3rd grade (44.90%) and 4th grade (47.50%) did well, while 5th grade (35.56%) and especially 6th grade (27.27%) lagged; all-grade ELA was 38.76%, above the district but slightly below the state.

The school is clearly improving. Proficiency rose in every all-grade subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 — ELA +6.37 points, math +5.11 points, and science +18.19 points. Its state rank climbed from 566 of 906 (38th percentile, 2 stars) to 436 of 899 (52nd percentile, 3 stars). In 2025–2026 it outperformed the Lee district in all three all-grade subjects. Context to keep in mind: the student-teacher ratio is 9.4 (2024–2025) and per-student spending was $22,126 (2020–2021), while free/reduced lunch data is not available. With 331 students spread across PK–6, grade-level percentages can swing on small cohorts, so year-to-year grade-level changes deserve caution.
