Summary:

ZIP code 01890 covers Winchester, Massachusetts, where five elementary schools serve kindergarten through fifth grade (Lynch also offers pre-K): Vinson-Owen Elementary (441 students), Lynch Elementary (426), Ambrose Elementary (398), Muraco Elementary (352), and Lincoln Elementary (334). All belong to the Winchester district, which ranks #7 of 351 Massachusetts districts, and together the five schools enroll 1,951 students.

Every one of these schools lands in the top 5.3% of Massachusetts elementary schools, ranking #4, #30, #34, #45, and #48 out of 899 in 2025–2026. Ambrose Elementary is the academic leader, with the group's highest all-grade ELA (77.3%) and math (85.64%) scores and a #4 statewide rank. Lincoln Elementary posts the top science score (86.44%) while spending the least ($14,970 per student) and enrolling the fewest students. Lynch Elementary made the biggest jump, rising from #97 to #48 and gaining nearly 8 points in math, and its 3rd-grade ELA score of 89.55% is the highest single grade-level result in this group. Muraco Elementary climbed from #165 to #45, though its ELA and math are just below district averages. Vinson-Owen Elementary is the largest school yet still ranks #30.

All five schools far exceed state averages — the lowest ELA score (Muraco, 68.42%) sits well above the state's 40.03%, and the lowest science score (Lynch, 64%) far exceeds 40.98%. Two caveats for parents: free/reduced-lunch data are unavailable for all five schools, and per-student spending figures are from 2020–2021, so spending comparisons should be treated cautiously.
