Summary:
ZIP code 01966 is home to one elementary school, Rockport Elementary, serving grades PK–5 with 264 students in the Rockport district. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, there are no within-ZIP peer comparisons; the useful context is how it performs against its district, the state, and its own prior years.
In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grade proficiency was close to the state average in ELA (39.68% vs. 40.03%) and math (40.94% vs. 41.11%), but below the state in science (34.04% vs. 40.98%). Grade-level results show a sharp split: grades 3 and 4 were mostly above state, including 3rd grade ELA at 52.5% vs. 42.79% (+9.71 points), 4th grade math at 51.28% vs. 43.2% (+8.08 points), 4th grade ELA at 43.59% vs. 37.43% (+6.16 points), and 3rd grade math at 47.5% vs. 42.19% (+5.31 points). Grade 5 was well below state in ELA (25.53% vs. 38.15%, −12.62 points), math (27.08% vs. 39.5%, −12.42 points), and science (34.04% vs. 43.07%, −9.03 points).
Year over year, math improved by 3.54 points, ELA was essentially flat, and science dropped from 59.46% in 2024–2025 to 34.04% in 2025–2026—a swing likely tied to a different grade-5 cohort. Rankings have softened: the school moved from 390 of 916 schools in 2023–2024 to 475 of 899 in 2025–2026, with percentile falling from 57 to 47 and stars from 3 to 2. Parents should note the favorable 9:1 student-teacher ratio and $22,516 per-student spending, though free/reduced lunch data is not reported. Overall, the school’s lower-elementary results are a relative strength, while 5th grade is the main academic pressure point.
