Easthampton

The Easthampton school district in Massachusetts consists of two schools: Mountain View School, an elementary school, and Easthampton High School. While the high school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the elementary school is ranked slightly higher with a 2-star rating. However, both schools have proficiency rates on MCAS tests that are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.

The data reveals some notable differences between the two schools. Mountain View School has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 12.8, compared to 10.6 at the high school. Additionally, Easthampton High School has a strong graduation rate of 91.8% and a low dropout rate of 6.1%, which are positive indicators. Interestingly, the high school stands out for its high proficiency rates in Physics, outperforming the state average.

Overall, the Easthampton school district appears to have room for improvement, with both schools underperforming the state averages on standardized tests. The disparity in performance between the elementary and high school suggests the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to these differences. While the high school's graduation and dropout rates are encouraging, the district may benefit from a closer examination of resource allocation and strategies to enhance student outcomes across all subject areas.
