Summary:

ZIP code 02155 is Medford, Massachusetts, and it contains eight public schools serving elementary, middle, and high school grades, all within the Medford district, which is rated 46th percentile with 2 stars. The district enrolls about 4,170 students, but school-level performance varies widely: Brooks School is a standout at the 83rd percentile (4 stars), while John J McGlynn Elementary School is the lowest at the 24th percentile (1 star). Medford High is the largest school with 1,195 students, and Curtis-Tufts is the smallest with just 11 students. This summary highlights key insights for parents comparing these schools.

Brooks School and Missituk Elementary School are the top elementary performers. Brooks has strong proficiency: ELA 62.75%, math 57.89%, science 62.35%, all well above district and state. Missituk improved from 47th to 66th percentile and now scores ELA 51.85%, math 47.53%, science 50.00%. Among middle schools, Madeleine Dugger Andrews outperforms John J. McGlynn Middle School in every subject; Andrews is at the 69th percentile (3 stars) with science 55.08% and civics 53.78%, while McGlynn Middle is at 44th percentile (2 stars) with ELA 30.92%, math 31.23%, science 35.38%, and civics 34.62%. Milton Fuller Roberts is mixed: science is strong at 53.75%, but math is weak at 31.37%. John J McGlynn Elementary School is the lowest-performing, with ELA 23.24%, math 32.23%, and science 18.68%—far below district and state.

Medford High has a 93.7% graduation rate and 4.5% dropout rate, both better than district averages, and its Biology EOC proficiency is 45.36%, above state. However, its 2025-2026 10th-grade MCAS proficiency is below state in ELA, math, and science. Curtis-Tufts is an extreme outlier with 11 students, a 14.3% graduation rate, and 28.6% dropout rate, but these figures are statistically fragile. Notably, free/reduced lunch data are blank for all schools, so economic-disadvantage comparisons are not possible. Overall, the district average masks a wide range: from Brooks's high performance to McGlynn Elementary's struggles, with Missituk improving and Andrews strong in middle school.
