Summary:
The city of Ludlow, Massachusetts is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While Ludlow Senior High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.0% and decent performance on MCAS tests, the district's elementary and middle schools, such as Harris Brook Elementary School, struggle with low test scores and poor statewide rankings.
The Ludlow school district as a whole is ranked 265th out of 351 school districts in Massachusetts and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district is performing below average compared to other districts in the state. The schools in Ludlow have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 75.47% to 83.9% white students, but the data does not suggest any correlation between racial makeup and school performance.
The Ludlow schools face opportunities for improvement, particularly in raising test scores, especially in mathematics and science, and addressing the performance gaps between the high school and the lower-grade schools. The district's spending per student ranges from $17,104 to $18,374, and the student-teacher ratios range from 8.9 to 11.5, suggesting that resources may not be the primary factor in the schools' performance. Overall, the analysis of the Ludlow school data highlights the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure that all students in Ludlow have access to a robust and equitable educational experience.
