Summary:
ZIP code 02467 (Chestnut Hill) contains just two schools — Edith C Baker (K–8) and Roland Hayes (PK–8) — both listed as elementary schools but serving middle grades as well, both part of the high-performing Brookline district, and together enrolling 1,083 students.
Both schools rank near the top of Massachusetts. Baker holds 5 stars in all three recent ranking years and ranked 83 of 899 schools in 2025–2026, in the 91st percentile. Hayes earned 5 stars in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 but slipped to 4 stars in 2025–2026, ranking 110 of 899, in the 88th percentile. Baker is the math and science standout: its 7th-grade math score of 81.69% is the highest single result in this data set, and its all-grade science score of 75.00% is the strongest core-subject score in the ZIP. Hayes is the ELA, grade-8, and civics standout: 8th-grade ELA 79.25%, 8th-grade math 80.39%, and 8th-grade civics 80.39%, which is 8.96 points above Baker. Hayes also has smaller classes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.3 versus 14.8, and lower per-student spending from 2020–2021 ($23,617 versus $25,103).
Every reported subject and grade at both schools sits above the state proficiency rate, often by 25 to 34 points. The more demanding benchmark, though, is the Brookline district: Baker beats the district in science only, while Hayes essentially matches it in ELA but trails in math and science. Math is the relative pressure point, especially at Hayes, whose 5th-grade math score of 50.00% is the lowest in the ZIP and 17.61 points below the district. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, science and civics improved at both schools while ELA and math softened slightly. Free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable for both schools, and the spending figures are several years old.
