Best Public Schools in East Bridgewater, MA


Summary:

The city of East Bridgewater, Massachusetts is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Central and Gordon W. Mitchell School) and 1 junior/senior high school (East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School). The district's schools generally perform well, with the elementary school Gordon W. Mitchell consistently ranking in the top half of Massachusetts elementary schools and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, the performance of East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 175th out of 342 Massachusetts high schools in 2021-2022 to 258th out of 348 in 2023-2024. This decline is reflected in the school's MCAS test scores, which are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics. Despite this, the high school maintains a strong 98.1% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The schools in East Bridgewater have relatively homogeneous student populations, with 82-84% of students being white. The district spends between $13,833 and $15,916 per student, which is higher than the state average, but this high spending does not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic performance, particularly at the high school level. The district may want to examine the factors contributing to the high school's declining performance and consider ways to promote greater diversity and inclusion across all of its schools.
