Best Public Schools in Marstons Mills, MA

Summary:

The city of Marstons Mills, Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Barnstable United Elementary School and West Villages Elementary School. While both schools serve students in the Barnstable district, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the two, with West Villages Elementary consistently outperforming Barnstable United on standardized assessments.

West Villages Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the area, with students scoring well above the district and state averages on the MCAS Next Generation assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, 53.92% of West Villages students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to just 27.67% and 28.48% for the Barnstable district, and 39.17% and 40.91% for the state. Additionally, while Barnstable United Elementary's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, the data does not provide West Villages' ranking, suggesting it may be performing even better.

Despite the performance gap, the two schools have similar funding and resources, with Barnstable United spending $19,379 per student and West Villages spending $18,826 per student. The student-teacher ratios are also comparable, with Barnstable United at 10.9 and West Villages at 12.1. These factors indicate that the differences in academic achievement may be influenced by factors beyond just funding and resources, warranting further investigation to identify the root causes and develop targeted strategies to support all students in the district.
