Erving

Erving, Massachusetts has only one public school, Erving Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, is consistently below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Erving Elementary's ranking has declined over the past three years, now placing it 605th out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools.

Erving Elementary's proficiency rates on the 2023-2024 MCAS assessments were 33.87% in ELA and 24.19% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 39.17% and 40.91%, respectively. The school's performance was particularly low in 5th grade ELA (12.5% proficient) and 4th grade Math (11.76% proficient). This academic underperformance is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles.

While Erving Elementary has a high per-student spending of $41,150 and a low student-teacher ratio of 7:1, these resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes for students. The school's declining ranking and low proficiency rates suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White, with limited racial and ethnic diversity, which could be an area for the school and Erving district to address to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
