Summary:
ZIP code 02090 is home to four public elementary schools — Pine Hill Elementary School (PK–5, enrollment 473) and William E Sheehan, Martha Jones, and Downey (all K–5, enrollment 271–278) — all part of the Westwood district. That district is ranked 13th of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 96th percentile with 5 stars, and all four schools currently hold 5 stars themselves. This is a strong cluster: every school ranks in at least the top 9% of Massachusetts elementary schools, and every school beats the state average in every reported subject and year by wide margins.
Downey is the clear standout. It ranked 1st of 899 state elementary schools in 2025–2026 (100th percentile), up from 64th two years earlier, and posts the group's top math (87.41% proficient) and science (86.96%) scores, plus the highest reported per-student spending ($22,440 in 2020–2021). Martha Jones is the consistency champion, ranking 6th, 2nd, and 7th over three years and leading the group in ELA at 82.39% — while reporting the lowest spending ($17,141) and highest student-teacher ratio (14.1). William E Sheehan was 4th in the state in both 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 but slipped to 36th in 2025–2026, with ELA falling from 77.08% to 69.66% and science from 88.64% to 73.08%; it is still a 96th-percentile, 5-star school.
Pine Hill is the largest school and the only PK–5 campus, and it remains the group's lowest academic performer — below the district average in ELA and math — yet it improved in all three subjects, moved from 4 stars to 5 stars, and its science score is above the district average. Science is a shared strength across the ZIP code, with all four schools scoring between 73.08 and 86.96. Two data gaps are worth noting: free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all four schools, and spending figures cover only three schools and only 2020–2021, so spending and resource comparisons should be treated cautiously.
