U.S. News & World Report just released their 2025 elementary and middle school rankings in each state, and many Boston suburbs lead the lists for Massachusetts.
The digital media company used data from the U.S. Department of Education to base their rankings of over 70,000 public schools on four indicators: mathematics proficiency, reading proficiency, mathematics performance and reading performance. Analyzed schools were then given a score based on a formula which factored in the four criteria and socioeconomic context.
