Middle Schools in Greenfield

There is only one middle school located in Greenfield, Massachusetts - Greenfield Middle. This public school serves grades 5-7 and has a total enrollment of 300 students. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, with 68% White, 24% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other races, its academic performance has consistently lagged behind state averages.

Greenfield Middle has ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts middle schools in recent years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its MCAS test scores are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 22.14% of students scoring proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 39.17%. Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $17,767 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of resources but rather the effective allocation and utilization of those resources to support student learning.

Overall, Greenfield Middle appears to be a struggling school that needs to address its academic performance issues through more effective instructional strategies, targeted interventions, and a careful evaluation of how resources are being utilized to support student learning. The school's declining statewide ranking and consistently low test scores indicate that it is not keeping pace with improvements in other middle schools across the state, and it may need to implement significant changes to improve student outcomes.
