Summary:

ZIP code 02090 covers Westwood, Massachusetts, and includes six schools: four elementary schools (Pine Hill Elementary School, William E Sheehan, Martha Jones, and Downey), one middle school (E W Thurston Middle), and one high school (Westwood High). All six belong to the Westwood district, which ranks #13 of 351 Massachusetts districts, and every school holds a 5-star rating in 2025-26. Total enrollment is 2,798 students — 1,297 elementary, 664 middle, and 837 high school.

Downey is the headliner: it ranks #1 of 899 elementary schools statewide in 2025-26 after climbing from #64 two years earlier, and leads the ZIP in math (87.41%) and science (86.96%). Martha Jones is the other elementary standout, in the state's top 10 for three straight years with the ZIP's highest ELA proficiency (82.39%). William E Sheehan was #4 statewide in both 2023-24 and 2024-25 and remains at the 96th percentile. Westwood High ranks #27 of 353 high schools, with a 98.6% graduation rate and 1.0% dropout rate.

Differences exist within this strong district. Pine Hill Elementary School is the relative laggard in ELA (63.68%) and math (65.96%) — roughly 19 to 21 points below the ZIP's top elementary scores — yet still far above state averages. E W Thurston Middle beats district figures in every reported grade-level subject, though 8th-grade ELA (62.91%) and Civics (55.35%) are its softer spots. Notably, Martha Jones has the lowest reported per-student spending ($17,141) and highest student-teacher ratio (14.1) yet some of the best results, while Downey spends the most ($22,440) — a reminder that spending alone does not explain performance. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported for any school, so socioeconomic context is not available here.
