Summary:
The city of Florence, Massachusetts is home to two schools - John F Kennedy Middle School and R.K. Finn Ryan Road Elementary School. These schools serve students in grades K-8 within the Northampton school district.
Based on the data, R.K. Finn Elementary appears to have stronger academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the middle school. However, John F Kennedy Middle School has a more racially diverse student population. Both schools have relatively high per-student spending, with R.K. Finn spending $19,114 and John F Kennedy spending $18,318 per student in the 2020-2021 school year.
The data suggests that while both schools are investing significant resources into education, there may be opportunities to better support student learning and ensure equitable outcomes across the district. Examining long-term performance trends and factors driving the differences between the two schools could provide valuable insights for the community.
