Summary:
ZIP code 01906 covers Saugus, Massachusetts, and contains five schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, with a combined listed enrollment of about 3,296 students: Belmonte STEAM Academy (grades 2–5), Veterans Early Learning Center (PK–1), Saugus Middle School (6–8), Saugus High (9–12), and the charter school Pioneer Charter School of Science II (K–12). Four of the five belong to the Saugus district, which ranks 271 of 351 Massachusetts districts (23rd percentile, 1 star). Pioneer Charter is its own district and is not district-ranked in this data.
Pioneer Charter School of Science II stands out sharply. On 2025–26 MCAS it is above the state average in every reported subject, including all-grade ELA 58.45 vs 40.03, math 75.93 vs 41.11, and science 66.13 vs 40.98, plus 10th grade ELA 83.61 and math 93.44. It also posts 93.2% graduation and 2.3% dropout, versus 85.6% and 9.9% at Saugus High, and has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.7. Saugus High's bright spot is Biology End of Course at 51.28 vs the state's 37.68, though its 10th grade ELA, math, and science are below state.
Among Saugus public schools, Belmonte is generally stronger than Saugus Middle on all-grade ELA (31.15 vs 23.96), and both trail state averages. Saugus Middle has a clear strength in 8th grade math at 53.98, above the state's 41.67, alongside weak 7th grade results, and it is improving in rank percentile (29 → 35 → 38) and science. Veterans Early Learning Center has no recent MCAS results because it serves PK–1, and reports the highest per-student spending at $18,882 (2020–21). Free/reduced-lunch data are unavailable for all schools, and spending figures are several years old.
