Summary:
Nantucket, Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Nantucket Elementary and Nantucket Intermediate School. While both schools serve a diverse student population, they have consistently ranked in the bottom third of Massachusetts elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on standardized tests.
Nantucket Elementary has 412 students, while Nantucket Intermediate School has 340 students. Both schools have a relatively high per-student spending, at $26,438 and $26,259 respectively, yet this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. Proficiency rates at Nantucket Intermediate School are significantly lower than the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Despite the challenges faced by these schools, there is an opportunity for further analysis and research to identify the root causes of their underperformance and develop targeted strategies to enhance the educational experience and academic achievement of their students. The Nantucket school district must work to address the underlying issues and provide the necessary support to ensure all students in the community have access to a high-quality education.
