Summary:
ZIP code 01473 covers Westminster, Massachusetts, and includes just two schools — both elementary schools in the Ashburnham-Westminster district — together serving grades PK through 5, in a district rated 2 stars and ranked 208 of 351 statewide (41st percentile).
Westminster Elementary (grades 2–5, 375 students) is the only school here with test and ranking data. Math is its strongest subject: all-grade math was 39.49%, only 1.62 points below the state, and 4th grade math reached 45.36%, above both the district (44.94%) and the state (43.20%). ELA is the weaker area — all-grade ELA was 32.73%, 7.30 points below the state, with every reported grade below both district and state. Science was the most volatile: 47.19% in 2024–2025, above district and state, then 29.79% in 2025–2026, a 17.40-point decline and 11.19 points below the state. Its rank history has held steady at the 38th–42nd percentile with 2 stars each of the last three years.
Meetinghouse School (grades PK–1, 210 students) stands out for resources rather than outcomes: it spends $16,235 per student versus $12,855 at Westminster Elementary, about 26% more, and has a higher student-teacher ratio of 15.0 versus 12.8. It has no test scores, rank history, or star rating in this data, so its academic performance cannot be compared directly, and its early-childhood grades may explain the different resource profile. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for both schools, so economic-disadvantage comparisons cannot be made from this file.
