Summary:
Zip code 02191 is served by a single public school: Wessagusset Elementary, a K–5 school in North Weymouth with 329 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8. It belongs to the Weymouth district, which is ranked 187th of 351 districts in Massachusetts (47th percentile, 2 stars). Wessagusset itself holds a 3-star rating in each of the last three listed school years, so it currently rates higher than its district overall.
In 2025–2026, Wessagusset is above both the district and the state in overall ELA (42.31% vs. 40.75% district and 40.03% state) and above the district in math (41.76% vs. 40.01%, with the state at 41.11%). Its most distinctive strength is consistency in ELA across grades 3–5: 42%, 42.03%, and 42.86% — a spread of less than one percentage point. Fourth grade math (47.83%) beats the state by 4.63 points, and 4th and 5th grade ELA are above the state as well. The weaker spots are 5th grade math (33.33%, below district and state) and 5th grade science (39.68% vs. district 46.01% and state 43.07%). Because the school only serves K–5, its all-grade science figure is effectively the 5th grade result, while the district all-grade number covers additional grades — so grade-level comparisons are the fairer guide.
Results were stronger in 2024–2025, when math reached 45.45% and science 47.37%, well above the district and state; both slipped in 2025–2026 while ELA edged up from 41.67% to 42.31%. Rank history shows a downward drift: 62nd percentile in 2023–2024, 53rd in 2024–2025, and 51st in 2025–2026, though the 3-star rating has held. Per-student spending is listed at $16,058 for 2020–2021, but without comparison values it cannot be judged high or low, and the free/reduced lunch figure is blank, so economic context is unavailable. Overall, this is a mid-to-slightly-above-average Massachusetts elementary school with steady ELA and room to improve in 5th grade math and science.
