Summary:

ZIP code 02180 is Stoneham, Massachusetts, where the Stoneham district operates five public schools serving grades K–12: three elementary schools in grades K–4 — Robin Hood, South, and Colonial Park — plus Stoneham Central Middle School for grades 5–8 and Stoneham High for grades 9–12. Enrollment totals 2,244 students: 956 elementary, 689 middle, and 599 high school. The district profile ranks 133 of 351 statewide, the 62nd percentile with 3 stars, and that same district-level rating appears on every school record, so it does not distinguish one school from another.

Among the elementary schools, Colonial Park has the strongest balanced results, with ELA and math both at 52.94% proficient, a 2025–26 rank of 255 of 899 (72nd percentile, 4 stars), and the highest elementary per-student spending at $18,515. South is the math leader — 56.20% overall and 65.63% in 3rd grade math, the highest reported score in this data — but its rank has slipped from 79th percentile and 4 stars in 2023–24 to 67th percentile and 3 stars now, and it has the lowest spending at $16,398. Robin Hood is the most challenged, at 49th percentile with 2 stars, the only school below the state math rate (40.85% vs 41.11%), and it has the highest student-teacher ratio at 12.6.

The secondary schools are uneven by subject and grade. Stoneham Central Middle School posts science at 56.21%, 8th grade science at 58.5%, and 8th grade civics at 54.73%, but All Grades ELA is 39.05% — below district and state — and 6th grade ELA is just 25%. Stoneham High stays above district and state in 10th grade ELA (50.36%), math (47.52%), science (43.18%), and Biology (50%), with a 92.5% graduation rate and 4.8% dropout rate, though all three 10th grade subjects are down from the prior year. Free/reduced lunch percentages are not reported for any school, so that data cannot be interpreted.
