Summary:
ZIP code 02150 covers Chelsea, Massachusetts, where 12 schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: five elementary schools, three middle schools, three high schools, and one small alternative program. Eleven belong to Chelsea Public Schools and one is a charter school. Together they enroll 6,292 students, and the Chelsea district ranks 321st of 351 statewide, so most schools here operate in a low-performing district context.
