Summary:
ZIP code 01741 covers Carlisle, Massachusetts, and has one public school listed—Carlisle School, an elementary school serving PK–8 with 612 students in the Carlisle district—and no middle, high, or alternative schools in the area summary. Because this is a single-school district, Carlisle School’s scores are also the district’s scores. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank/not reported, so it should not be read as zero.
Carlisle School is a standout: in 2025–2026 it ranked 19th of 899 Massachusetts schools (98th percentile, 5 stars), and the Carlisle district ranked 2nd of 351 districts (99th percentile, 5 stars). All-grades proficiency was 75.37% in ELA vs. 40.03% statewide, 76.49% in math vs. 41.11%, and 81.97% in science vs. 40.98%—science was essentially double the state rate. Grade-level results are strong across the board: 8th grade reached 83.33% ELA, 83.61% math, 81.67% science, and 71.67% civics, while 5th-grade science was 82.26%. Even the lowest 2025–2026 result, 3rd-grade math at 67.19%, was 25.00 points above the state’s 42.19%.
Year-over-year results were mixed: ELA fell 2.30 points, science fell 1.73 points, and 8th-grade civics fell 7.00 points, while math was nearly flat (+0.22 points); rankings remained elite. Context metrics show 612 students, a 10.2 student-teacher ratio (roughly 60 teachers), and per-student spending of $20,751 in 2020–2021, though that spending year differs from current enrollment. Parents should note ZIP 01741 lists no public high school, so local students likely attend high school outside this data set. Overall, Carlisle School is a very high-performing PK–8 school with top-percentile state rankings and scores far above Massachusetts averages, despite some recent score dips.
