Summary:
ZIP code 02152 covers Winthrop, Massachusetts, where four schools serve students across the full K–12 span: two elementary schools (one PK–2 and one grades 3–5), one middle school (6–8), and one high school (9–12). Together they enroll 1,961 students, with elementary grades accounting for about 48.7% of that total. The Winthrop district as a whole ranks 204 of 351 (42nd percentile, 2 stars), but the individual schools differ sharply from that district-level picture. Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for all four schools, so household-income context is not available here; per-student spending is from 2020–21 and student-teacher ratios are from 2024–25.
Winthrop Middle School is the clear standout, ranked 127 of 478 (73rd percentile, 4 stars) and holding steady at that level for three straight years. Its 2025–26 proficiency is 51.93% in ELA versus 40.03% statewide and 53.78% in math versus 41.11%, with science at 36.96% versus 40.98% — the one relative weakness. Winthrop High School is more of a mix: 183 of 353 (48th percentile, 2 stars), with math at 52.17% against the state's 43.73%, while ELA (41.38% vs. 45.48%), science (35.19% vs. 40.5%), and biology (29.77% vs. 37.68%) trail. Its graduation rate is 91.2% and dropout rate 5.0%.
Arthur T. Cummings Elementary School ranks 596 of 899 (34th percentile, 2 stars) and has slipped over three years; ELA (29.56%) and math (32.66%) fall below state, while science (43.57%) runs above it. William P. Gorman/Fort Banks Elementary serves PK–2, so it has no current MCAS scores — its only ranking is from 2002–03 and should not be read as current performance. It does show the highest per-student spending ($17,647) and a 14.7 student-teacher ratio, while the strongest outcomes sit at the middle school with the lowest ratio (13.2) and lower spending — a gap worth noting, though the spending figures are dated and not causal.
