Overall, the 02747 zip code appears to have a strong middle school option in Dartmouth Middle, but the elementary schools may need additional support or resources to bring them up to par with the district and state averages. The lack of free/reduced lunch data for the individual schools makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic demographics and how that may be impacting academic outcomes, an important area to explore further.
