Elementary Schools in Ipswich

The two elementary schools located in Ipswich, Massachusetts - Winthrop Elementary and Paul F. Doyon Memorial Elementary - are both strong-performing institutions within the district and the state of Massachusetts.

Both schools have consistently high proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments, often outperforming the Ipswich district and state averages. Winthrop Elementary is ranked 155 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, while Paul F. Doyon Memorial is ranked 221 and also has a 4-star rating. The schools have similar per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratios, suggesting effective resource allocation by the Ipswich school district.

While Winthrop Elementary has a more diverse student population, both schools have a majority white student body, which is reflective of the overall demographics of Ipswich. The slightly lower proficiency rates in 5th-grade ELA and Mathematics at both schools compared to the earlier grades may indicate a need to focus on maintaining academic progress as students advance through the elementary grades.
