Summary:
The Melrose school district in Massachusetts is home to 6 high-performing elementary schools that serve students from pre-K through 5th grade. These schools consistently rank among the best in the state, with Winthrop Elementary and Horace Mann Elementary standing out as the top-performing schools in the district.
Winthrop Elementary is ranked 47th out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the Melrose district and state averages on MCAS Next Generation tests, with 67.88% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 76.04% in Mathematics. Horace Mann Elementary, ranked 11th in the state, also demonstrates exceptional performance, with 77.27% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 81.95% in Mathematics.
While the schools in the Melrose district have varying levels of racial diversity, this does not appear to be directly correlated with academic performance. The district as a whole performs above the state average in MCAS tests, and both high-performing and average-performing schools have diverse student populations. Additionally, the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not seem to be directly linked to the schools' academic success, suggesting that the Melrose district has a strong educational system that supports the success of its elementary schools.
