Summary:
ZIP code 01607 contains just two public elementary schools — Quinsigamond and Vernon Hill School — both serving grades PK–6 in the Worcester district and enrolling a combined 1,263 students.
Both schools sit near the bottom of Massachusetts performance rankings. In 2025–26, Quinsigamond ranked 850 of 899 schools (5th percentile) and Vernon Hill School ranked 840 of 899 (7th percentile); each earned 0 stars in the two most recent years, down from 1 star in 2023–24. All-grade MCAS proficiency at both schools falls well below the Worcester district average (roughly 24–25%) and far below the state (about 40–41%) in every subject. Vernon Hill School has the stronger 2025–26 English language arts and math profile — ELA 15.24% vs 11.98%, math 16.27% vs 15.93% — while Quinsigamond leads in science, 14.81% vs 8.33%, the largest subject gap between them. Vernon Hill's math improved year over year (+2.97 points), but its science fell sharply from 21.43% to 8.33%, a 13.10-point drop that likely reflects a fifth-grade cohort change, since science is only tested in grade 5 here.
Grade-level results are uneven at Vernon Hill School, ranging from the data set's highest ELA score (3rd grade, 23.33%) to its lowest math score (5th grade, 6.25%), while Quinsigamond is more consistent but stays between roughly 10% and 18% across grades. Resources do not explain the differences: per-student spending is nearly identical ($16,072 vs $16,321) and student-teacher ratios are 13.3 and 13.4. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for both, so economic context is unknown. Quinsigamond enrolls 738 students versus Vernon Hill's 525.
