Summary:

ZIP code 01507 in Charlton, Massachusetts contains four public schools — two elementary, one middle, and one regional vocational technical high school — serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with 2,577 students enrolled across two districts. Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School belongs to the Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational School Distric (ranked 115 of 351 districts, 3 stars), while the other three schools belong to Dudley-Charlton Regional (ranked 257 of 351, 1 star).

Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School is the clear standout: 1,188 students, the ZIP's lowest student-teacher ratio (9.6), the highest per-student spending ($20,980), a 98.9% graduation rate, and a 0.4% dropout rate. Its 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS proficiency is above state in ELA (60.7% vs 45.48%), math (54.23% vs 43.73%), and science (51.09% vs 40.5%), with the Biology End of Course score (35.77% vs 37.68%) slightly below state. Its rank climbed from the 41st to the 68th percentile over three years. Among the Dudley-Charlton schools, Heritage School is the relative bright spot, beating its district in both ELA and math and edging above state in all-grade math (41.83% vs 41.11%), though 3rd-grade math (32.79% vs 42.19%) trails state while 4th-grade math (49.65% vs 43.2%) leads it.

Charlton Middle School is the main concern, trailing the state in every 2025–2026 all-grade core subject — ELA (30.52% vs 40.03%), math (28.87% vs 41.11%), science (38.03% vs 40.98%), and civics (31.06% vs 39.77%) — with its rank falling from the 50th to the 38th percentile. Charlton Elementary serves PK–1 and has no MCAS or rank data, so it cannot be compared on performance. Free/reduced-lunch rates are not reported for any school, and spending figures date to 2020–2021, so family-income context is unavailable.
