Summary:
ZIP code 01752 contains eight schools — four elementary, one middle, and three high schools — enrolling about 6,647 students. They span three districts: six schools in Marlborough (68.2% of enrollment), one in Assabet Valley Regional Vocational Technical (17.2%), and one in Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter (District) (14.6%). High schoolers make up 46.6% of students, elementary 38.9%, and middle 14.5%. Note that Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School is listed as a high school but serves grades 6–12, so its enrollment includes middle-grade students.
Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School is the clear academic outlier, with a 100.0% graduation rate, 0.0% dropout rate, a 91st percentile rank, and 10th grade proficiency of 77.94% in ELA and 85.93% in Math, far above state figures of 45.48% and 43.73%. Assabet Valley Vocational High School posts a striking 95.83% Physics proficiency against the state's 46.58%, yet trails the state in 10th grade ELA, Math, Science, and Biology. Marlborough High is improving — its rank percentile rose from 23% to 40% over three years — and beats its district on graduation (94.0% vs. 90.7%) and dropout (3.2% vs. 4.7%), but remains below state in core subjects.
Middle school is the weakest link: 1 LT Charles W. Whitcomb School reports 14.34% Science proficiency versus the state's 40.98%, with ELA and Math also far below state. Among elementary schools, Goodnow Brothers Elementary School leads in ELA and Math, Francis J Kane leads in Science, and Richer lags in Math — none of the four reaches state averages. Free/reduced-lunch data are unavailable and spending figures date to 2020–2021, so comparisons should be read cautiously.
