Summary:
Zip code 01810 covers Andover and includes 10 schools — five elementary, three middle, and two high schools — serving about 7,166 students in a suburban area north of Boston, with nine schools in the Andover district and one, Gr Lawrence Regional Vocational Technical, in the separate Greater Lawrence Regional Vocational Technical district.
The Andover schools hold the top of the list and rank well above state averages in ELA, math, and science. Andover West Middle is the strongest in the zip at 94th percentile with 5 stars, followed by High Plain Elementary (93rd percentile, improving each year) and Doherty Middle (90th percentile, very steady). Science is a clear strength across these schools — South Elementary posts 78.21, Andover West Middle 78.43, and High Plain 75.51, all far above the state figure of 40.98. ELA tends to trail math and science, though still above state. Two formerly elite schools have softened: South Elementary and Henry C Sanborn Elementary each slipped from 5 stars to 4, and Wood Hill Middle School fell from the 94th to the 86th percentile.
The two high schools look very different. Andover High is high-ranked (84th percentile, 4 stars) with strong math and physics proficiency, 99.5% graduation, and 0.2% dropout. Gr Lawrence Regional Vocational Technical is the largest school at 1,837 students and the lowest-ranked (35th percentile, 2 stars, up from 22nd), with 10th-grade scores below state — but it also graduates 99.5% of students with just 0.5% dropout. Notably, spending does not track with test results here: Gr Lawrence spends the most per student ($23,197) while Andover High spends the least ($17,743). Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported for any school in this extract, so family-income context cannot be compared.
