Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 01887 serve the town of Wilmington, MA, with five schools spanning PK–K through grade 5 and a combined enrollment of 1,355 students.
Wilmington's elementary schools are organized by grade band: Boutwell serves PK–K, Woburn Street and Shawsheen Elementary serve grades 1–3, and West Intermediate and North Intermediate serve grades 4–5. All tested schools exceed state averages in every reported all-grade subject in both years, and the Wilmington district ranks 76th of 351 districts in Massachusetts. Among the intermediate schools, North posted the highest all-grade ELA at 56.90, while West led in math (60.71) and science (66.39) — the highest subject score in the dataset. Their strengths are complementary by grade: North's 4th graders scored ELA 62.10 and math 63.71, while West's 5th graders scored ELA 59.84, math 63.93, and science 66.39. West also showed the clearest upward trend, improving in all three subjects and rising from 308th of 916 schools two years ago to 155th of 899, moving from 3 stars to 4 stars.
Among the primary schools, Woburn Street is the largest (368 students) and has a clear ELA strength at 54.14, above both district and state, though its math (51.13) is below district but above state. Shawsheen has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.0 and posted the biggest math improvement, from 44.33 to 53.40, putting it slightly above district. Boutwell, serving PK–K, has no MCAS data but the highest per-student spending ($23,025) and highest student-teacher ratio (12.6). Spending does not track simply with performance — North has the lowest spending among tested schools yet the top all-grade ELA. Note that free/reduced lunch data are unavailable, rank histories exist only for West and North, and Woburn and Shawsheen "all grades" scores reflect 3rd grade only, so cross-grade-band comparisons should be made cautiously.
