Summary:
Zip code 02053 covers Medway, Massachusetts, and includes four public schools serving about 2,158 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: two elementary schools (Burke/Memorial Elementary School for grades 2–4 and John D Mc Govern Elementary for PK–1), one middle school (Medway Middle, grades 5–8), and one high school (Medway High, grades 9–12). The Medway district ranks 54th of 351 Massachusetts districts — the 85th percentile — with a 4-star rating, and every rated school here also carries 4 stars.
Medway Middle is the most consistent performer, with 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency of 60.18% in ELA, 60.09% in math, and 61.01% in science — each roughly 19–20 points above the state — and a rank percentile that has held in the 83rd–84th range for three years. Medway High posts the strongest high-school outcomes: a 94.8% graduation rate, a 4.1% dropout rate, and Biology End-of-Course proficiency of 67.72% versus 37.68% statewide, a gap of about 30 points; it ranked 60th of 353 high schools. Burke/Memorial Elementary School shines in math at 61.76% all-grade, above both district and state, but trails the district in ELA at 52.94% versus 56.61%, a reversal from 2024–2025.
Two watch points stand out. Middle-school grade-level results vary widely — 7th-grade ELA at 67.1% against 6th-grade ELA at 52.33% — and 8th-grade Civics fell from 63.87% to 43.98%, a drop mirrored district-wide. Resource data also does not track simply with results: Medway High has the lowest per-student spending at $16,693 yet strong outcomes, while John D Mc Govern Elementary has the highest at $17,733 but no test or rank data, likely because it serves PK–1. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for all four schools, so equity comparisons are not possible.
