Summary:
ZIP code 02360, covering Plymouth, Massachusetts, contains 14 schools — eight elementary, two middle, and four high schools — serving 7,649 students. Most students (6,731, or 88%) attend Plymouth Public Schools, while the rest attend two charter districts, Rising Tide Charter Public (District) and Map Academy Charter School (District).
The standout is Rising Tide Charter Public School, ranked 63rd of 353 high schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars), with 10th-grade proficiency of 76.27% in ELA, 78.95% in math, and 54.90% in science — all far above state averages. Among elementary schools, Manomet Elementary leads (77th percentile, 4 stars), followed by West Elementary (69th), Nathaniel Morton Elementary (64th), and Federal Furnace School (61st). Elementary science is a clear strength: Manomet, West, and Federal Furnace each exceed 60% proficiency against a state figure near 41%. At the high-school level, Plymouth North High has climbed from the 30th to the 51st percentile in three years, and its 10th-grade ELA (56.31%) beats both district and state.
Concerns cluster in math and science. Both middle schools, Plymouth Commun Intermediate and Plymouth South Middle, exceed the state in ELA but score only about 31% and 33% in math and roughly 27–28% in science. Plymouth South High and Plymouth North also trail the state in 10th-grade math and science, though Plymouth South posts the best graduation rate (97.2%) and lowest dropout rate (2.4%) of the four high schools. Map Academy Charter School is the sharpest outlier, at the 2nd percentile with 0 stars, a 27.9% graduation rate, and 0% proficiency in 10th-grade science. Hedge is the weakest elementary in ELA (33.33%) but has improved from the 35th to the 44th percentile. Spending and class size do not track closely with results, and free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable, so income context cannot be compared.
