Summary:
Zip code 01880 covers Wakefield, Massachusetts, where four elementary schools — Woodville School, Dolbeare, Greenwood, and Walton — serve a combined 1,344 students in pre-kindergarten through 4th grade (Woodville is the only one offering PK; the others are K–4). All four belong to the Wakefield district, which ranks 53 of 351 districts statewide (85th percentile, 4 stars). Families here are choosing among consistently strong schools: every reported 2025–26 ELA and math score at all four schools sits above the state average, and every school's all-grade math score beats its own ELA score — math is a particular strength in this area.
Two schools stand out right now. Walton earned 5 stars and ranks 50 of 899 schools (94th percentile), with the highest all-grade math proficiency of the group at 79.01%, compared with the district's 54.57% and the state's 41.11%. Its scores climbed sharply year over year, with math rising from 60.44% to 79.01% and ELA from 49.45% to 63.75%. Greenwood also earned 5 stars (88 of 899, 90th percentile) and posts the top all-grade ELA score at 65.56%, up from 58.95%. Both outperform the district in every reported subject.
Woodville is the largest school (456 students) and ranks 228 of 899 (75th percentile, 4 stars); its 3rd-grade ELA is strong at 67.16%, but 4th-grade ELA (46.34%) and math (50.00%) fall below district averages. Dolbeare (443 students) ranks 262 of 899 (71st percentile, 4 stars), with solid math (60.37%) but the lowest all-grade ELA (46.34%). Both larger schools slipped year over year in both subjects. Notably, Walton has the highest student-teacher ratio (13.5) and lowest per-student spending ($15,706), while Dolbeare has the lowest ratio (11.9) and highest spending ($16,683) — resources don't line up neatly with results.
