Summary:
The city of Winchendon, Massachusetts is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). Overall, the Winchendon school district is ranked 306 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating it is a lower-performing district compared to the state.
Among the standout schools, Memorial and Toy Town Elementary are ranked in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics below the state averages. Murdock Middle School and Murdock High School also rank in the bottom 25% of their respective categories, with similarly low proficiency rates. The alternative high school, Murdock Academy for Success, has a much lower graduation rate and higher dropout rate compared to the district's main high school.
The Winchendon school district as a whole faces challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates consistently lower than the state averages across ELA, Mathematics, and Science. Addressing these achievement gaps and supporting the alternative education program could be areas of focus for the district to improve student outcomes.
