Several heavy-hitting Greater Boston districts earned top marks in the new Massachusetts elementary and middle school rankings.

U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 elementary and middle school rankings are here, and several heavy-hitting Greater Boston districts earned top marks in Massachusetts.

Weston and Belmont lay claim to the top two elementary schools in the state, while Brookline and perennial list-topper Boston Latin School lead the pack for middle schools.

The rankings are based on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Education, according to U.S. News & World Report.

“The rankings methodology focused on state assessments of students who were proficient or above proficient in mathematics and reading/language arts, while accounting for student background and achievement in core subjects,” the publication explained in a news release . “Student-teacher ratios are applied to break ties in the overall score.”

The 2025 rankings offer parents a way of seeing how schools are providing a high-quality education and preparing students for the future, LaMont Jones, U.S. News managing editor for education, said in a statement.

“The data empowers families and communities to advocate for their children’s education,” Jones said. “Research continues to indicate that how students perform academically at these early grade levels is a big factor in their success in high school and beyond.”
