Millbury

The Millbury school district in Massachusetts consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Raymond E. Shaw Elementary and Elmwood Street Elementary) and 1 junior/senior high school (Millbury Junior/Senior High). The data reveals notable differences in academic performance and student outcomes across these schools.

Raymond E. Shaw Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, ranking 426 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms district and state averages on MCAS Next Generation tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Millbury Junior/Senior High lags behind, with test scores in the bottom half of Massachusetts high schools.

While the schools have similar spending per student, the data suggests a significant disparity in academic outcomes between the elementary and secondary levels. This disparity may warrant further investigation to identify the underlying factors contributing to the differences in student performance. Additionally, the racial makeup of the schools varies, with Millbury Junior/Senior High having a more diverse student population compared to the elementary schools. Understanding and addressing these differences could help ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Millbury school district.
