Summary:

ZIP code 02072 (Stoughton, Massachusetts) contains seven public schools — five elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — serving roughly 3,658 students in grades PK–12, all within the Stoughton district, which currently ranks 184 of 351 districts statewide (48th percentile, 2 stars). Because rankings pool elementary, middle, and high schools separately, rank percentiles are the fairest way to compare schools across grade levels.

Three elementary schools stand out. Joseph R Dawe Junior Elementary is the ZIP's top performer: 70th percentile (3 stars), the highest ELA (55.17) and Science (56.25) proficiency here, and a rise from the 56th percentile in each of the two prior years. Richard L. Wilkins Elementary School has the strongest Math (51.01) and ranks 62nd percentile, though its Science (30.56) is a weak spot. South Elementary is balanced, above district and state in all three subjects (Science 44.00) at the 59th percentile. Joseph H Gibbons is the most improved school, climbing from the 31st to the 50th percentile, with strong 3rd-grade ELA (64.52) and Math (62.90) but low Science (30.30).

The main concerns are at the secondary level. O'Donnell Middle School (48th percentile) has ELA (28.76) and Math (33.91) below district and state, while Science (40.73) and Civics (41.53) are bright spots. Stoughton High fell from the 61st to the 46th percentile over two years; its 10th-grade Science (46.72) is above state, but ELA, Math, and Biology are below state. Elementary Science is uneven — three of five schools fall below district and state. Helen Hansen Elementary sits mid-pack at the 48th percentile despite the highest per-student spending ($18,586 in 2020–21), and Gibbons has the highest student-teacher ratio (13.6), versus the lowest (10.7) at Stoughton High.
