Summary:

ZIP code 02186 in Milton, Massachusetts is served by four public elementary schools — Collicot (K–5, 623 students), Cunningham School (PK–5, 612), Glover (K–5, 593), and Tucker (PK–5, 454) — all part of the Milton school district, which is ranked 35th of 351 Massachusetts districts at the 90th percentile.

All four schools score well above state averages in every subject and rank at or above the 80th percentile statewide. Three of them cluster tightly near the top: Collicot (95th of 899 schools), Glover (99th), and Cunningham School (114th). Glover has the strongest 2025–26 overall profile and the steadiest record, moving only 96 → 98 → 99 over three years. Collicot is the largest school, leads in math, and once ranked 48th of 916 at the 95th percentile with 5 stars, though its trend is downward. Cunningham School leads in science and has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.7. Tucker ranks lowest at 177th but is the clear improver: its rank rose from 270th to 177th, math proficiency climbed 11.03 points to 62.75, and it posts the group's highest 3rd-grade math and ELA scores — even as its 4th-grade results (ELA 44.78, math 49.25) lag well behind.

Across years, results are mixed: all-grade ELA fell at Collicot, Cunningham School, and Glover while rising at Tucker, and science declined at all four. Resources do not line up neatly with outcomes — Glover reports the lowest 2020–21 per-student spending ($14,244) yet the highest reading score and overall composite, while Cunningham School spends the most ($16,526) and leads in science. Two caveats matter: free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every school, so economic context is unknown rather than zero, and the spending figures date to 2020–21.
