Schools in Zip Code 01921

Zip code 01921, which covers Boxford, Massachusetts, has four public schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving grades PK through 12 with a combined enrollment of 2,255 students across two districts: Boxford for the elementary grades and Masconomet for grades 7–12.

Both districts rank in the top quarter of Massachusetts (Boxford at 87 of 351, Masconomet at 90 of 351, each with 4 stars). Among the individual schools, Masconomet Regional High School is the largest, with 924 students (about 41% of the area's total), and is a clear academic standout: a 98.6% graduation rate, a 0.9% dropout rate, and 2025–26 test scores well above state in ELA, math, and science. Spofford Pond (grades 3–6) is the most stable school, holding the 75th–76th percentile and 4 stars for three straight years, with math results roughly 20 points above state in grades 4 and 6. The watch item is Masconomet Regional Middle School, which slipped from 85th percentile and 4 stars in 2023–24 to 70th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26; its 8th-grade math is the only 2025–26 result in the dataset below the state average, while its 7th grade remains strong.

Two caveats matter for parents. Harry Lee Cole (PK–2) has no MCAS scores or rank history because state testing begins in grade 3, so it cannot be judged academically from this data; it does have the highest student/teacher ratio at 13.0. Per-pupil spending is tightly clustered — $20,326 to $20,953 across the four schools — but comes from 2020–21, and free/reduced lunch data is missing for every school, so socioeconomic context is unavailable. Overall, 01921 is a small, high-performing area where the high school and Spofford Pond are the strengths and the middle school is the one to watch.
