Summary:
ZIP code 02703 covers 11 Attleboro public schools — five K–4 elementaries, three middle schools serving grades 5–8, one large comprehensive high school, and two small alternative/virtual high school programs — educating roughly 5,995 students in the Attleboro district, which ranks 214 of 351 districts (2 stars) statewide.
The standouts: Hyman Fine Elementary School is the strongest elementary, with ELA 46.15% and Math 44.10% proficient — about 6 points above the state in ELA — despite the highest elementary student-teacher ratio (17.4) and among the lowest elementary spending. Wamsutta Middle School leads the middle schools (59th percentile, 3 stars), powered by grade 8. Robert J. Coelho Middle School posts the best middle science score (45.23%) but is trending down. Attleboro High roughly matches the state in 10th-grade ELA and Math and graduates 94.5%, but its Science (34.42%) and Physics (33.11%) trail the state by a wide margin. At the other end, Thomas Willett Elementary School is the weakest elementary in both ELA (34.90%) and Math (32.89%) with a three-year percentile slide, and Cyril K. Brennan Middle School has the ZIP's weakest middle science (28.52%).
Two patterns stand out. Spending and results run in opposite directions: the two highest-spending elementaries, A. Irvin Studley Elementary School and Willett, are not the top performers, while the lowest-spending elementary, Hyman Fine, leads. Science is the area's weakest common thread, and 8th-grade Civics splits sharply between schools. The tiny Attleboro Virtual Academy (39 students, 73.7% graduation, 15.8% dropout) struggles far more than Attleboro Community Academy, which graduates 88.5% of its 64 students. Note that free/reduced lunch data is unavailable for all 11 schools and per-student spending figures date to 2020–2021, so comparisons here should be read cautiously.
