Everett

The Everett school district in Massachusetts consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the district faces challenges in academic performance, a few standout schools demonstrate the potential for improvement across the system.

The Webster School stands out as the top-performing elementary school in the district, with the highest proficiency rates on MCAS tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The Sumner G. Whittier School also performs relatively well, with strong science proficiency. In contrast, the Everett High School, the only high school in the district, has a lower statewide ranking but a higher-than-average graduation rate compared to the district.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the Everett schools and the state averages on MCAS tests, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes. Additionally, the Devens School, an alternative school, stands out with extremely low graduation rates and high dropout rates, highlighting the unique challenges faced by such schools. The wide range in spending per student across the district also suggests potential disparities in resource allocation that may contribute to the observed performance gaps.
