Summary:
The Gill-Montague school district in Massachusetts consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with Gill Elementary emerging as the standout school.
Gill Elementary boasts the highest statewide ranking with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly outperforms the district and state averages on MCAS tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in 2023-2024, Gill Elementary had over 50% of students proficient or better in both ELA and Math, compared to district-wide averages of around 20% in each subject. In contrast, Sheffield Elementary and Great Falls Middle lag behind the district and state in academic performance.
The data also reveals variations in student demographics, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratios across the schools, which may contribute to the disparities in academic achievement. Additionally, Turners Falls High has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate and high dropout rate, indicating a need for targeted interventions to support student success and retention.
