Summary:
ZIP code 01887 is the town of Wilmington, Massachusetts — a single-district community of 7 schools serving about 2,756 students across five elementary/intermediate buildings (PK–5), one middle school, and one high school, all rated within the Wilmington district at #76 of 351 Massachusetts districts (78th percentile, 4 stars).
Every reported MCAS proficiency figure in this file — every school, subject, grade, and year — sits above its matching statewide result, which is the district's defining trait. The standout is West Intermediate, whose science proficiency of 66.39% is the highest score anywhere in the ZIP and 25.4 points above state, paired with 60.71% in math and a climb from the 66th to the 83rd percentile in two years — the biggest improvement in the file. North Intermediate leads in English language arts at 56.90% (+16.9 vs. state). Wilmington High posts the strongest overall levels — 55.21% ELA, 57.41% math, plus a 95.9% graduation rate and 1.4% dropout rate — though its rank has slipped for three straight years. Wilmington Middle School, the largest school with 782 students, is the only building below its own district in all three core subjects, and its 7th-grade ELA (40.95%) is the lowest result in the ZIP.
Two watch items stand out. First, secondary science fell sharply year over year — down 7.3 points at the middle school and 8.6 at the high school. Second, the two intermediate schools flip strengths by grade: North is ahead in 4th grade, West far ahead in 5th, a 16.4-point science gap within one district. Note also that free/reduced-price lunch data are blank for all seven schools, so results cannot be contextualized by poverty rate; spending figures are from 2020-21; and Boutwell (PK–K) has no MCAS data, as it serves untested grades.
