Best Public Schools in Zip Code 02364

ZIP code 02364 covers Kingston, Massachusetts, where four public schools serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade across two districts: the Kingston district (Kingston Elementary, K–2, and Kingston Intermediate, 3–6) and the Silver Lake district (Silver Lake Regional Middle School, 7–8, and Silver Lake Regional High, 9–12). Together they enroll 2,746 students. Free- and reduced-price lunch figures are not available for any of the four schools, so socioeconomic context for the area is unknown.

On state-relative test performance, Kingston Intermediate is the clearest standout: in 2025–2026 it scored above the state in English language arts (44.77% vs 40.03%), math (47.65% vs 41.11%), and science (46.00% vs 40.98%), with especially strong 3rd-grade ELA, 5th-grade math, and 6th-grade math. Silver Lake Regional Middle School is similarly strong in math (48.52% vs 41.11%) and ELA (44.84% vs 40.03%), but trails the state in science (35.41%) and 8th-grade civics (35.80%). Silver Lake Regional High has excellent completion outcomes — a 98.0% graduation rate and 0.4% dropout rate — yet its 2025–2026 proficiency in 10th-grade ELA (35.27% vs 45.48%), 10th-grade science (34.57% vs 40.50%), and physics (32.80% vs 46.58%) is below state. Kingston Elementary serves K–2, so it has no test scores here; its student–teacher ratio of 16.8 is the highest of the four.

Math is a consistent strength across the ZIP code: Kingston Intermediate (+6.54 points over state), Silver Lake Middle (+7.41), and Silver Lake High's 10th-grade math (44.03%, slightly above state). Ratings diverge, though — Silver Lake Middle sits at the 64th percentile with 3 stars for 2025–2026, while Silver Lake High fell from the 54th percentile and 3 stars to the 44th percentile and 2 stars. Spending differs sharply as well: Silver Lake Middle spends $19,270 per student and the high school $18,442 (2020–2021), versus $12,467 at Kingston Intermediate and $13,135 at Kingston Elementary, with lower student–teacher ratios at the secondary schools. Higher spending has not translated into uniformly higher state-relative proficiency, and with lunch data unavailable, the picture is incomplete.
