Lucretia and Joseph Brown School leads the elementary grades with ELA at 64.36% and math at 66.34%, both well above district and state. Marblehead High remains strong — 74th percentile, 4 stars, a 99.2% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate — though its rank has slipped from the 87th percentile three years earlier and 10th-grade science fell sharply year over year. Village School shines in science (69.28%), Glover dropped notably in ELA and math after a strong prior year, and the charter school improved from 3 stars to 4 stars.
Every school in this ZIP code scores above the state average in every reported MCAS subject, and the district averages run roughly 17 to 23 points above the state in ELA, math, science, and civics. Science is also the most volatile subject, with large swings in both directions. Note the gaps: free/reduced lunch data is blank for all schools, spending is missing for Brown, and Village and Brown have no rank history.
