Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 02367

ZIP code 02367 covers Plympton, Massachusetts, and contains just one elementary school: Dennett Elementary, located at 80 Crescent Street and serving grades K–6 with 249 students. Because Plympton is a one-school district, Plympton and Dennett Elementary are the same population — every district figure in the data is really a figure for this single building, so the statewide numbers are the only meaningful comparison point. There is no other school in this ZIP to compare against.

On that comparison, the school performs well. Dennett Elementary has held a 4-star rating for three consecutive years, most recently ranking 203 of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (77th percentile), and its district ranks 75 of 351. It scores above the state average on every subject and grade level tested in 2025–2026 — all twelve test lines — with no exceptions. The standout result is 3rd grade English language arts, where 75.68% of students met expectations against a state figure of 42.79%. Mathematics is the improving subject, up 5.32 points year over year while the state stayed roughly flat, and every grade-level math score sits at least 10 points above the state benchmark. Overall ELA proficiency is 57.23% versus 40.03% statewide. The one soft spot is science, which fell 10.67 points to 54.55%; since science is tested only in 5th grade, that reflects a single small cohort rather than a school-wide trend.

Two practical cautions for parents. First, class sizes here are small — roughly 249 students across seven grade levels, with a 14.2:1 student-to-teacher ratio implying about 17–18 teaching positions — so a single student can move a grade-level percentage by 3–4 points. Treat grade-by-grade figures as directional rather than precise. Second, some context is missing: the most recent spending figure is $16,659 per student from 2020–2021, several years older than the test data, and free/reduced lunch status is not reported, so there is no way to know how much of this performance reflects the school itself versus the population it serves. What can be said confidently is that this is a consistently strong, top-quartile school that outperforms the state across the board.
