Summary:
ZIP code 01702 is home to two schools serving very different age groups: Joseph P Keefe Technical High School, a grades 9–12 vocational-technical high school with 896 students, and Harmony Grove Elementary, a PK–5 school with 453 students. Together they enroll 1,349 students, and there are no middle or alternative schools in this ZIP. The high school belongs to South Middlesex Regional Vocational Technical and the elementary school to Framingham. Free and reduced-price lunch rates are not reported for either school, so family income context is unknown, and the only spending figures available are from 2020–2021.
Joseph P Keefe Technical High School is the stronger performer of the two. It ranks around the 35th–39th percentile of Massachusetts high schools in recent years (two stars), while its district ranks in the 26th percentile. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate is 97.1% with a 2.0% dropout rate — strong completion outcomes. Test scores are below the state in every reported subject, but the gaps are smallest in Science and Biology (about 2.8 and 4.5 points below state in 2025–2026) and largest in Math, roughly 17 points below state.
Harmony Grove Elementary sits near the bottom of the state, ranking in the 1st–2nd percentile (zero stars). In 2025–2026, only 9.24% of students were proficient in ELA, 7.61% in Math, and 2.9% in Science, far below both the state and its own district. The school did post small ELA and Math gains year over year, but Science fell. Both schools are below state averages; the difference is one is mid-range with strong graduation results, and the other is among the lowest-ranked in Massachusetts.
