Summary:
ZIP code 01969 covers Rowley, Massachusetts, and contains just one elementary school: Pine Grove, which serves grades PK–6 with 429 students as part of the Triton district. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, there are no in-area comparisons to make — but Pine Grove stands out on its own merits and outpaces its district overall. The district is ranked 111th of 351 statewide, in the 68th percentile with 3 stars, while Pine Grove holds 4 stars in each of the three years shown and has climbed steadily in state rank, from 223rd of 916 in 2023–2024 to 139th of 899 in 2025–2026 — the 85th percentile.
Test scores come from the MCAS Next Generation exams, and the clearest strength is Science. In 2025–2026, Pine Grove's all-grade Science proficiency was 81.58%, compared with 60.14% in the Triton district and 40.98% statewide. Fifth grade is the strongest grade level, posting 76.32% in ELA, 78.95% in Math, and 81.58% in Science. The school beats both its district and the state in all three all-grade subjects: ELA at 61.23% versus 51.34% district and 40.03% state, and Math at 62.01% versus 51.22% district and 41.11% state. Year over year, Math rose 3.21 points and Science jumped 18.68 points, while ELA slipped 1.73 points.
A few details are worth knowing. Fourth grade Math, at 50.00%, is slightly below the district's 51.52% but still above the state's 43.20%, making it a relative weak spot. The student-teacher ratio is 11.2, generally a relatively low figure, and per-student spending is listed at $20,312 for 2020–2021, which is dated. Free or reduced-lunch data is not available in the provided data, so it is not shown and should not be read as 0%. Also note that the all-grade Science score mirrors the 5th-grade result, so that large year-over-year Science gain reflects one tested cohort and should be interpreted with some caution.
