Summary:
ZIP code 02052 covers Medfield, Massachusetts, where three elementary schools together serve about 1,200 students across the full PK–5 grade range: Memorial School for PK–1, Ralph Wheelock School for grades 2–3, and Dale Street for grades 4–5. All three belong to the Medfield district, which ranks 12th of 351 Massachusetts districts — the 97th percentile, with 5 stars.
Parents comparing the two tested schools will see strong results in both. Ralph Wheelock School is the more balanced performer: in 2025–2026 it posted 71.89% in ELA and 72.97% in math, above the district all-grades average in both subjects and roughly 32 points above the state. Dale Street is the math standout, with 75.20% in 2025–2026 and 80.97% in 2024–2025, both above district and far above state, and a math-over-ELA gap of about 11 points in each year. Its ELA (64.21%) and science (62.29%) were below the district in 2025–2026 but still about 24 and 21 points above state. Dale Street also has the smallest classes, with a 13.2 student-teacher ratio versus 18.1 at Wheelock and 18.6 at Memorial, and it holds 5 stars with a rank of 65 of 899 schools (93rd percentile) in 2025–2026, down from 39 of 906 the prior year.
Memorial School is the largest school (412 students) and spends the most per student ($17,648 versus $16,159 at Wheelock and $16,222 at Dale Street), but because it serves PK–1 it has no MCAS results — testing starts in grade 3, so this is structural, not a performance signal. Enrollment across the three schools (412, 404, 384) is evenly distributed, suggesting stable cohort sizes. Free/reduced-price lunch figures are not available for any of the three, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed from this data.
