Summary:
West Brookfield, Massachusetts is home to a single public elementary school, West Brookfield Elementary, which serves grades K-6 with an enrollment of 257 students. While the school's academic performance on MCAS assessments is generally below the state averages, it outperforms the Quaboag Regional district in most subject areas and grade levels.
West Brookfield Elementary's MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science vary significantly by grade level, with 3rd and 6th graders outperforming 4th and 5th graders. This suggests potential areas for improvement in the school's curriculum and instructional practices. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 427th out of 932 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 522nd out of 916 in 2023-2024, indicating that its performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state.
Despite these challenges, West Brookfield Elementary spends $17,307 per student and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 17.4 to 1, suggesting that the school is well-resourced. However, the school's demographic composition is predominantly White, with relatively low percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students, which may indicate potential equity and access issues that should be explored further.
