Summary:
ZIP code 01240 covers Lenox, MA, and has two public schools—Lenox Memorial High (grades 6–12, enrollment 439) and Morris (PK–5, enrollment 332)—so there is no standalone middle school, and both operate in the Lenox district. Total enrollment across the two schools is 771.
Lenox Memorial High is the standout. In 2025–26 it ranked 35 out of 353 schools, in the 90th percentile with 5 stars, after 86th percentile/4 stars in 2024–25 and 88th percentile/4 stars in 2023–24. Its all-grade 2025–26 scores were 62.09 in ELA, 63.93 in math, and 58.18 in science, versus state scores of 40.03, 41.11, and 40.98. Tenth-grade results were especially strong: 89.06 ELA vs. 45.48, 71.43 math vs. 43.73, and 74.60 science vs. 40.50. The school reported a 95.0% graduation rate, 3.3% dropout rate, a 7.5 student-teacher ratio, and $22,567 spending per student in 2020–21. Math and science improved sharply from 2024–25, while Biology and Civics declined but stayed above state; Physics was 100% proficient in 2024–25, with no 2025–26 comparison.
Morris is solid but less dominant. Its 2025–26 rank was 221 out of 899 schools, 75th percentile with 4 stars, down from 77th percentile in 2024–25 and 84th in 2023–24. It is above the state in every reported subject and grade, with all-grade ELA 55.90, math 56.17, and science 52.63 vs. state 40.03, 41.11, and 40.98, but it is below the district in all three. Fifth grade is a strength: 59.65 ELA vs. 38.15, 61.40 math vs. 39.50, and 52.63 science vs. 43.07; 4th-grade math is 53.06 vs. 43.20. It has a 10.7 student-teacher ratio and $20,924 per-student spending in 2020–21, and its latest year-over-year changes were -4.48 ELA, -5.47 math, and +1.72 science. Because the two schools serve different grade bands—grades 6–12 and PK–5—their all-grade scores are not directly comparable. Overall, the district is strong, led by Lenox Memorial High, while Morris remains above state averages but has softened in rank and relative district performance.
