Summary:

ZIP code 01844 covers Methuen, Massachusetts, where students attend five public schools — four K–8 grammar schools and one high school — all part of the Methuen district, which ranks 278 of 351 districts statewide (21st percentile, 1 star) and enrolls 6,301 students in total.

Results vary widely among the K–8 schools even though they share a district rating. Marsh Grammar School is the strongest, rated 2 stars and ranked 541 of 899 (40th percentile), with the group's top scores in ELA (37.2%), math (34.98%), and science (36.79%), plus an 8th-grade civics score of 42.45% — above the state. It trails state averages by only about 3 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 4 in science. Comprehensive Grammar School is second-strongest, also 2 stars and ranked 585 of 899, strong in ELA (35.75%) and math (31.38%) but weaker in science (24.41%). Donald P Timony Grammar improved the most year over year, gaining over 6 points in ELA, nearly 8 in science, and 7 in civics, yet remains 1 star at the 19th percentile. Tenney Grammar School ranks lowest in the group at 783 of 899 (13th percentile, 1 star) and declined in every core subject.

Methuen High is the largest school, with 1,841 students, and its proficiency is far below state levels — 25.49% in ELA, 20.39% in math, and 26.5% in science — though its graduation rate is 91.9%. Note that free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all five schools, so economic context is unknown.
