Summary:
ZIP code 01568 in Upton, Massachusetts contains three public schools serving roughly 2,270 students — two high schools covering grades 9–12 and one elementary school covering grades K–4, with no middle or alternative schools in the ZIP.
The two high schools serve very different purposes. Blackstone Valley is the largest school here at 1,243 students and belongs to the Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical district; it reports a 100.0% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, and its standout subject is Physics, where 61.26% of students were proficient versus 46.58% statewide. Nipmuc Regional High, a smaller comprehensive high school of 534 students in the Mendon-Upton district, earns 4 stars and outscored Blackstone Valley in 2025–2026 ELA, Math, Science, and Biology while beating the state in every reported 10th-grade subject. Their recent trends also diverge: Nipmuc improved in every comparable subject year over year (Math up 11.07 points), while Blackstone Valley declined in every comparable subject.
Memorial School is the ZIP's strongest relative performer. The K–4 school ranks 129th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (86th percentile, 4 stars), with 2025–2026 proficiency of 59.5% in ELA and 66% in math, both well above district and state figures; fourth-grade math reached 71.28%. Spending and staffing do not track rankings neatly — Blackstone Valley spends the most per student ($21,626) yet holds a 3-star rating, while Memorial has the highest student–teacher ratio (14.0) but the best relative results. Two data limits matter: free/reduced-lunch figures are not populated for any school here, and spending data is from 2020–2021.
