Summary:
ZIP code 02032 covers East Walpole, Massachusetts, and its file contains three schools serving grades K through 12: one elementary (K–5), one middle (6–8), no listed high school, and one alternative virtual school that spans all grades. Combined enrollment is 4,256 students, but roughly 70% of that — 2,969 students — attend TEC Connections Academy Commonwealth Virtual School, a statewide online academy whose administrative address sits in this ZIP, while the remaining 1,287 attend the two neighborhood schools in the Walpole district.
Old Post Road is the standout: it ranks 10th of 899 elementary schools statewide (99th percentile, 5 stars) and outperforms the state by 30.7 points in ELA, 41.3 in math, and 42.8 in science, improving in all three subjects year over year and climbing from 52nd to 10th in state rank. Its 4th-grade math result (85.88) is the highest proficiency figure in the file. Walpole Middle School is also above state in every subject — ELA +15.1 points and math +20.4 — ranking 93 of 478 (81st percentile, 4 stars), with grade-6 and grade-7 math as its strongest cells. Its apparent science gap to the district is an artifact of mixing 5th- and 8th-grade tests into one "all grades" figure, not a middle-school weakness.
TEC Connections Academy Commonwealth Virtual School, which forms its own TEC Connections Academy Commonwealth Virtual School District, trails the state in ELA (−14.6), math (−20.2), and science (−9.8), reports a 45.7% graduation rate and a 34.2% dropout rate, and has the largest classes of the three (20.7 students per teacher). Its 8th-grade civics result is essentially at state level and improved 11.1 points year over year. Two cautions: comparing a statewide online academy with two neighborhood schools mainly contrasts delivery models, and free/reduced-lunch data is missing for all three schools, so proficiency gaps cannot be adjusted for student economics.
