Summary:
ZIP code 02493 — Weston, Massachusetts — is home to exactly one middle school: Weston Middle, located at 456 Wellesley Street, serving grades 6–8 with 451 students as part of the Weston district. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, the most useful comparisons are Weston Middle against its own district and against Massachusetts as a whole — and by nearly every reported measure, it stands out. The school holds a 5-star rating and ranked 8th of 478 Massachusetts middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 98th percentile. That is part of a steady climb: it was 20th of 493 (96th percentile) in 2023–2024, then 14th of 484 (97th percentile) in 2024–2025.
Academically, proficiency rates run roughly double the state averages in every reported subject for 2025–2026. All-grade English Language Arts was 78.24% at Weston Middle versus 40.03% statewide, mathematics was 77.88% versus 41.11%, science was 77.94% versus 40.98%, and 8th-grade civics was 77.21% versus 39.77%. Against the district, Weston Middle sits slightly above in ELA, science, and civics, but slightly below in all-grade mathematics (77.88% versus the district's 78.68%) — a relative soft spot only, since it remains far above the state.

Grade-level patterns are worth watching. ELA proficiency slips from 80.95% in 6th grade to 78.00% in 7th and 75.56% in 8th, while math dips to 76.16% in 7th grade before rebounding to 77.94% in 8th. Eighth-grade science and civics are both strong, at 77.94% and 77.21%. Context measures are favorable: an 11:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $29,781 in 2020–2021, though that spending figure is older than the achievement data. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported here, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed from this dataset.
