Summary:

ZIP code 01810 covers Andover, Massachusetts, and is home to three public middle schools serving grades 6–8 — Andover West Middle, Doherty Middle, and Wood Hill Middle School — all part of the Andover district, which ranks 36th of 351 Massachusetts districts (90th percentile, 5 stars). Together the three schools enroll 1,318 students.

Achievement across this group is uniformly high: each school exceeds the state average in ELA, math, science, and civics. Andover West Middle is the current leader, ranking 28th of 478 middle schools statewide (94th percentile, 5 stars) and topping the other two in every all-grade 2025–2026 subject, with standout science (78.43%) and 8th-grade math (83.01%). It also posted the largest year-over-year gains, up 14.31 points in science and 11.07 in civics, moving from 53rd to 28th. Doherty Middle is the most consistent, holding 5 stars and a rank between 43rd and 47th for three straight years, with 7th grade a particular strength (74.71% ELA, 78.03% math).

Wood Hill Middle School has the smallest enrollment (317), the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.9), and the highest per-student spending ($21,676), yet its current outcomes trail the other two — 66th of 478 (86th percentile, 4 stars), down from 30th in 2023–2024, with the lowest all-grade scores in all four subjects. Its 8th-grade math (75.76%) remains a bright spot. Spending and staffing figures come from different years than the test scores, and free/reduced-lunch percentages are not reported for 2024–2025, so socioeconomic comparisons among the three schools cannot be made.
