Summary:
ZIP code 01907 covers Swampscott, Massachusetts, and the data set contains two schools serving about 1,360 students across grades 5–12: Swampscott Middle (grades 5–8, 654 students) and Swampscott High (grades 9–12, 706 students), both in the Swampscott district, which ranks 91st of 351 Massachusetts districts (74th percentile, 4 stars). No elementary schools appear in this data, so this is a view of grades 5 and up only. Both schools sit in the top quartile of the state.
Swampscott High is the headliner. It ranks 55th of 353 Massachusetts high schools (84th percentile, 4 stars) in SY 2025-2026, up from 105th the year before. Its proficiency beats the state in every tested subject: Mathematics +18.3 points, English Language Arts +15.4, Science +31.1, and Biology +26.0. Science is the signature strength, with 71.6% proficient against a 40.5% state figure — roughly 1.8 times the state rate. The 94.5% graduation rate and 1.8% dropout rate are solid, and the student–teacher ratio is 11.6. Notably, its gains came while state ELA and Science scores fell.
Swampscott Middle is solid but more uneven. It ranks 125th of 478 middle schools (74th percentile, 4 stars), up from 163rd. Civics is an outlier bright spot — 68.03% proficient against a 39.77% state rate, a +28.3 point gap — and Science is strong at 55.48% (+14.5 over state). ELA (+6.0) and Math (+4.8) are only modestly above state. Eighth grade leads in every subject, while 7th-grade ELA at 36.08% is the one area below its state benchmark. Spending is near-identical at both schools (Middle $17,795 and High $17,420 per student, SY 2020-2021), and free/reduced-lunch rates are not reported for either, so economic context is unknown.
