Summary:
ZIP code 02770 contains just one elementary school: Rochester Memorial, a PK–6 school in the Rochester district that enrolls 473 students. With no other elementary school in the ZIP code, there is no local peer to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own results over time. Rochester Memorial holds a 3-star rating, and its district ranks 116 of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 67th percentile.
Against the state, the school is strongest in Mathematics and Science, where proficiency runs more than 10 percentage points above Massachusetts in 2025–2026. All-grade Mathematics stands at 53.13% proficient versus 41.11% statewide, and all-grade Science at 54.84% versus 40.98%. The clearest single standout is 3rd-grade Mathematics, at 59.68% compared with 42.19% statewide, a gap of +17.49 percentage points. English Language Arts is also above the state in every grade tested, but by a smaller margin: 46.25% all-grade versus 40.03%, or +6.22 percentage points. The narrowest margin is 5th-grade ELA, where the school's 39.34% is just 1.19 percentage points above the state's 38.15%.
Recently, proficiency has softened. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the school fell 3.94 points in ELA, 0.77 points in Mathematics, and 5.16 points in Science, and its advantages over the state narrowed in all three subjects. Even so, its state rank edged up, from 296 of 906 in 2024–2025 to 289 of 899 in 2025–2026, and from the 62nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 68th percentile. Note that the district's test-score figures are identical to the school's in every row, so the district is not an independent comparison point. Context data is limited: the free/reduced lunch rate is not reported, per-student spending of $16,248 dates to 2020–2021, and the student-teacher ratio of 11.4 for 2024–2025 has no state benchmark in this data.
