Summary:
ZIP code 02043 contains a single middle school, Hingham Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 with 798 students as part of the Hingham district in Massachusetts.
Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP, there are no local peers to compare it with, so the district, the state, and the school's own history are the meaningful benchmarks. Hingham Middle has finished in the top tier of Massachusetts middle schools three years running: 21st of 493 (96th percentile) in 2023–2024, 37th of 484 (92nd percentile) in 2024–2025, and 22nd of 478 (95th percentile) in 2025–2026, earning 5 stars each time. In 2025–2026 MCAS results, ELA proficiency was 78.77% against 72.95% in the district and 40.03% statewide; math was 69.62% versus 67.61% district and 41.11% state; 8th-grade science was 75.77% versus 75.19% district and 38.93% state; and 8th-grade civics was 69.08% versus 69.03% district and 39.77% state.
Year over year, ELA held essentially steady (78.70 to 78.77) while math rose from 68.07 to 69.62. The largest gains came in science, up 16.17 percentage points from 59.60 to 75.77, and civics, up 12.33 points from 56.75 to 69.08. Grade-level scores are tightly clustered — ELA from 77.19 to 79.54 and math from 68.85 to 70.65 — and the school is above the district in every reported ELA and math grade. The student-teacher ratio was 11.6:1 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending was $17,012 in 2020–2021; the free/reduced lunch figure is blank, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed. Note that district all-grade science (77.68%) is higher than the school's figure, likely because it includes tested grades outside Hingham Middle's 6–8 range, making the 8th-grade comparison more direct.
