East Bridgewater

The East Bridgewater school district in Massachusetts consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Gordon W. Mitchell School and Central) and 1 junior/senior high school (East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School).

The standout schools in the district are the East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School, which boasts an exceptional 98.1% 4-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, and the Gordon W. Mitchell School, which performs well above district and state averages on MCAS tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the junior/senior high school's academic performance on MCAS tests is generally below the state average, suggesting a potential disconnect between the school's ability to keep students engaged and graduating, and its effectiveness in delivering strong academic outcomes.

The elementary schools in the district, especially Gordon W. Mitchell School, appear to be performing better academically than the junior/senior high school, which could indicate that the district is doing a good job of laying a strong academic foundation in the early grades but may struggle to maintain that momentum as students progress through the higher grade levels. The district also allocates more funding per student to the elementary schools compared to the junior/senior high school, potentially to address any academic challenges that arise later on.
