Summary:
ZIP code 02482 is home to three elementary schools — Hunnewell, Sprague Elementary School, and John D Hardy — all serving grades K–5 in the Wellesley district, enrolling 863 students combined. All three are rated 5 stars, and the district ranks 5th of 351 Massachusetts districts, in the 99th percentile.
John D Hardy is the standout, ranking #2 of 899 in 2025–26, #1 of 906 in 2024–25, and #2 of 916 in 2023–24 — 100th percentile every year. Its 2025–26 all-grade results lead the group: ELA 78.57%, math 85.16%, and science 86.67%. Hardy is above the district average in every reported subject and grade level, with math especially consistent (86.27%, 84.75%, and 84.44% across grades 3–5).
Sprague Elementary School (ranked #42 of 899) posts strong ELA and math — all-grade ELA 77.52%, math 75.97%, plus the set's highest single grade-level results in 3rd grade ELA (85.00%) and 4th grade math (86.05%) — but its science score of 56.82% is a sharp outlier, down from 78.43% in 2024–25 and far below the district's 75.56%, though still above the state's 40.98%. Hunnewell (ranked #31 of 899) shows the reverse profile: science is a strength at 85.42% and 82.35%, while ELA (71.53%) and math (73.10%) fall below the district. Its 4th grade math score of 63.79% is the lowest reported figure in the set but still well above the state's 43.2%. Notably, Sprague spends the most per student ($24,057) with the highest student-teacher ratio (11.7), while Hardy spends $22,589 with a 10.5 ratio — so spending and staffing do not simply track outcomes.
