Best Public Schools in Templeton, MA

Summary:

The city of Templeton, Massachusetts has only one public elementary school, Templeton Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-4. Based on the available data, Templeton Elementary School appears to be an underperforming school compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Templeton Elementary School has a student enrollment of 644 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.5 to 1. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly below the state averages for all grades, 3rd grade, and 4th grade. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 675 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $13,571, but without additional context, it is difficult to determine if this level of funding is adequate or being effectively utilized to support student learning. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White (83.39%), with relatively low percentages of minority students, which may suggest a lack of diversity and inclusivity within the school community. Overall, the data indicates that Templeton Elementary School is an underperforming school that requires further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and the overall quality of education provided to the community.
