Best Public Schools in Chatham, MA

Summary:

The city of Chatham, Massachusetts is home to two schools: Monomoy Regional Middle School and Chatham Elementary School. These schools serve students from grades K-8 and are part of the Monomoy Regional School District.

Monomoy Regional Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 20% of Massachusetts middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students excel on MCAS Next Generation assessments, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, suggesting a favorable learning environment.

While Chatham Elementary School has also demonstrated strong performance on MCAS assessments, with proficiency rates above state averages in several grade levels, particularly in Mathematics, its ranking has fluctuated in recent years. The school earned a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 but has since dropped to a 3-star rating. However, Chatham Elementary School's smaller student enrollment of 151 students may allow for more personalized attention, and its higher per-student spending of $26,315 compared to Monomoy Regional Middle School's $20,986 may contribute to its educational approach.
