Summary:
ZIP code 02066 is served by six Scituate public schools—four elementary, one middle, and one high school—with 2,744 students in a district ranked 56 of 351 in Massachusetts (84th percentile, 4 stars). All six schools show 4 stars, and every reported 2025–2026 school test score is above the state average: district K–8 ELA is 57.35 vs. state 40.03, math 60.84 vs. 41.11, and science 60.24 vs. 40.98. The high school has a 98.0% graduation rate and 1.0% dropout rate.
Among standouts, Jenkins Elementary School has the strongest elementary profile, ranked 138 of 899 (85th percentile), with ELA 59.88, math 65.29, science 67.80, and 4th-grade math 82.98—the highest single score here. Wampatuck Elementary leads elementary math at 66.85 and has 4th-grade ELA 70.69, but science is 49.12 and 5th-grade ELA is 41.38, both below district. Gates Middle School is strong in science (62.56) and 8th-grade math (66.51), though ELA fell to 56.30. Scituate High School has a Biology EOC score of 61.76 vs. state 37.68, but 10th-grade science dropped to 49.17 from 72.12. Hatherly Elementary has the highest spending ($19,437) and 4th-grade math 80.00, while Cushing Elementary has strengths in 5th-grade ELA (63.83) and 3rd-grade math (66.20) but weaker 4th-grade ELA/math (48.39) and science (51.11).
Math is a district strength, while science is the most uneven subject: Jenkins Elementary School and Hatherly Elementary are well above district, but Wampatuck Elementary, Cushing Elementary, and Scituate High School 10th-grade science are below district averages in 2025–2026. Many local weak spots are still above state, so gaps are relative to a high district bar. Spending and student-teacher ratios do not show a simple pattern with outcomes. The main items to watch are elementary science and the high school’s 10th-grade science decline.
