Summary:

The 01532 zip code of Northborough, Massachusetts is home to four high-performing elementary schools: Lincoln Street, Marguerite E Peaslee, Marion E Zeh, and Fannie E Proctor. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with strong test scores, low student-teacher ratios, and high per-student spending, indicating a strong investment in education in the Northborough district.

Lincoln Street Elementary stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 25% of Massachusetts schools and boasting over 50% proficiency in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Fannie E Proctor Elementary has also shown significant improvement, moving from a 3-star to a 4-star rating and climbing to the top 15% of state elementary schools.

While the schools in the 01532 zip code generally outperform state averages, there are some variations in test scores across grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the data does not provide information on free and reduced-price lunch rates, which could indicate potential equity concerns within the schools. Further investigation into the demographic composition of the student populations would be valuable to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the schools in this area.
