Summary:
ZIP code 02330 covers Carver, Massachusetts, a two-building school district serving about 1,476 students: Carver Elementary School (PK–5, 788 students) and Carver Middle/High School (grades 6–12, 688 students). Although the area is counted as having one high school and no middle schools, the "high" building actually spans grades 6–12, so the middle grades live inside it. Both schools belong to the Carver district, which ranks 237th of 351 Massachusetts districts — about the 32nd percentile, or 2 stars.
Comparing the two, Carver Elementary School is the math standout: 4th grade math reached 49.66%, the highest score in this data set and roughly 6.5 points above the state, and 5th grade math (41.67%) also beat the state. But 3rd grade math (31.15%) trails the state by 11 points, pointing to a possible foundational K–3 gap. Carver Middle/High School stands out in science — 44.05% across all grades versus 40.98% statewide, with 8th grade science 5.1 points above the state and physics rising from 22.37% to 38.24%. It also posts a 97.8% graduation rate, 2 points above its own district, with a 1.1% dropout rate. Grade 7 is the only grade in the ZIP where both ELA and math beat the state.
The clearest shared weakness is English language arts, sitting roughly 7.5–8 points below the state at both schools and flat year over year. The deepest gaps are in the middle grades inside Carver Middle/High School: 8th grade ELA is 15.8 points below the state, 6th grade math 16.9 below, and 8th grade civics 19.3 below. Both schools also lost about 2 points in math this year, though the middle/high school's rank climbed about 6 percentile points over three years while the elementary school stayed flat.
