Summary:
ZIP code 01915 is home to five elementary schools, all K–4 campuses within the Beverly school district, which ranks 89th of 351 Massachusetts districts (75th percentile, 4 stars). Together they enroll 1,777 students, ranging from 312 at Hannah Elementary to 394 at Cove Elementary.
Ayers/Ryal Side School is the strongest overall performer, ranking 144th of 899 schools statewide (84th percentile, 4 stars) and holding the 84th–86th percentile for three straight years, with the group's highest math proficiency at 67.08% — achieved despite the lowest per-student spending ($14,101) and highest student-teacher ratio (14.1). Centerville Elementary leads in ELA at 56.59% and has the smallest classes (11.4 ratio). Cove Elementary is the biggest improver, climbing from 2 stars and the 48th percentile to 4 stars and the 77th percentile, with ELA up 10.69 points. North Beverly Elementary is still strong (79th percentile, 4 stars) but slipped from the 88th percentile as math fell 12.10 points. Hannah Elementary ranks lowest here (281st of 899, 69th percentile, 3 stars) and is the only school with math below the district average, at 50.00%.
Across the group, average proficiency is 54.82% in ELA and 59.90% in math — both above district and state figures — and math outpaces ELA at four of the five schools. Grade-level results can differ sharply from school averages: North Beverly scores 67.24% in 4th-grade math but 55.07% in 3rd-grade math, while Hannah scores 57.89% in 3rd-grade ELA but 47.83% in 4th grade. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all five schools, and spending figures come from 2020–2021, so they are contextual rather than causal.
