Athol-Royalston


Summary:

The Athol-Royalston school district in Massachusetts consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole struggles academically, with test scores well below state averages, one school stands out as a relative bright spot - Royalston Community School. This elementary school has the highest MCAS proficiency rates in the district, outperforming its peers in both English Language Arts and Math.

In contrast, Athol High School appears to be the highest performing school in the district, particularly in ELA, with 37.78% of 10th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to 56.86% statewide. The school also boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 85.4% and a low dropout rate of 4.9%. However, the district's middle and elementary schools continue to struggle academically, with all schools performing well below state averages on MCAS assessments.

Despite the district's significant investment in education, with high per-student spending across all schools, the academic outcomes have not kept pace. Exploring how resources are being utilized and identifying strategies to improve student learning should be a top priority for school and district leaders in Athol-Royalston.
