Summary:
Zip code 02726 covers Somerset, MA and contains 5 schools — three elementary (North Elementary, Chace Street, and South), one middle (Somerset Middle School), and one high school (Somerset Berkley Regional High School) — serving about 2,516 students in grades PK–12. Elementary enrollment totals 1,010 students, the middle school has 610, and the high school has 896. The middle and elementary schools belong to the Somerset district (178 of 351, 49th percentile, 2 stars), while the high school is its own Somerset Berkley Regional School District (144 of 351, 59th percentile, 3 stars).
North Elementary is the strongest elementary, outpacing both the Somerset district and the state in ELA (45.77% vs 40.03%), Math (52.24% vs 41.11%), and Science (48.53% vs 40.98%), and it holds the highest current percentile in the zip code at 65. Somerset Berkley Regional High School posts the best completion metrics — a 95.9% graduation rate and 2.3% dropout rate — with 10th-grade ELA, Math, Science, and Physics all above state. Somerset Middle School is mixed but shines in 8th-grade Math (51.09% vs state 41.67%) and Civics (45.36% vs 39.77%). South is the most polarized: Math 50.82% and Science 47.37% beat state, but ELA is 31.45% against state 40.03%. Chace Street is the lowest ranked (45th percentile, 2 stars), with Science above state at 46.15% but Math well below at 35.33%.
Across the district, Math and Science are relative strengths while ELA lags state. Elementary results vary sharply by subject, so a single "elementary quality" label is misleading. South has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.2) and highest per-student spending ($17,960), yet the weakest ELA; the high school has the lowest spending ($15,463) with strong outcomes — no clear spending-to-outcome pattern in this small set. Free/reduced lunch data is blank for every school, so economic context could not be analyzed here.
