Summary:
ZIP code 02111 is in downtown Boston, and it contains just one public elementary school: Quincy Elementary School, which serves grades PK–5 with 731 students as part of the Boston district. Since there are no other elementary schools in this ZIP code to compare against, the most meaningful benchmarks are the Boston district and Massachusetts state averages.
Quincy Elementary performs well above its district in every subject. In 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation results, 46.97% of students were proficient in English language arts versus 29.41% district-wide and 40.03% statewide; in mathematics, 53.47% versus 29.12% district and 41.11% state; and in science, 41.75% versus 24.94% district and 40.98% state. Math stands out as the strongest subject, beating the state by roughly 12 points. The school ranks 317th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (65th percentile, 3 stars), while the Boston district ranks 299th of 351 (15th percentile, 1 star) — a striking contrast. Class sizes are small, with a 12:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $26,810 in 2020–2021. Free or reduced-price lunch data is not reported in this record, so economic need cannot be assessed here.
Two cautions are worth noting. Scores dipped from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA fell 2.09 points, math 8.91 points, and science 15.01 points, with science now only barely above the all-grades state average. At grade 5 specifically, science proficiency is 41.75% versus the state's 43.07%, slightly below average. Fourth grade ELA (39.82%) is the lowest grade-level result, though still above the state. Math remained strong across all three grades. Rank history shows fluctuation rather than decline: 249th of 906 (73rd percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025, 317th of 899 (3 stars) in 2025–2026, and 349th of 916 (3 stars) in 2023–2024 — still consistently above the state average.
