Summary:

Zip code 01772 is Southborough, Massachusetts, home to four schools — three elementary and one middle — serving students from prekindergarten through grade 8. Roughly 1,310 students attend these schools, all part of the Southborough district, which ranks 11th of 351 Massachusetts districts at the 97th percentile with 5 stars. No high school appears in this zip code's list.

Margaret A Neary (grades 4–5) is the strongest elementary performer here, ranked 23 of 899 statewide in 2025–2026 — the top 3% — with 5 stars. Its all-grades math proficiency of 81.99% is the highest reported in the group, well above the district's 73.67% and the state's 41.11%, and its 4th- and 5th-grade math scores sit roughly 40 points above state. P Brent Trottier (grades 6–8) is the only middle school here and is also highly rated, at rank 31 of 478. Its 8th-grade ELA (79.02%), science (74.13%), and civics (77.62%) results are each about 35–38 points above state averages.

Albert S. Woodward Memorial School (grades 2–3, with only grade 3 tested) posted the highest ELA and math scores in the group in 2024–2025, then fell sharply: ELA down 14.66 points and math down 9.77 points. It still beats state averages by a wide margin, and because only one grade is tested, cohort change may explain the swing. Neary, meanwhile, improved in ELA and math but dropped 11.37 points in science. Mary E Finn School serves PK–1, so it has no MCAS data and cannot be compared academically; it has the largest elementary enrollment (345), a student-teacher ratio of 10.8, and the lowest reported per-student spending ($17,591). Free/reduced lunch figures are unavailable for all schools, so equity comparisons should be made cautiously.
