Summary:
North Adams, Massachusetts is home to a single high school, Drury High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, lags significantly behind state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Only 40.68% of 10th-grade students at Drury High were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 56.86%, and the school's Mathematics proficiency rates are even lower, with just 21.43% of 10th-graders and 5.84% of all grades being proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 48.47% and 40.91%, respectively.
Drury High School also faces challenges with its graduation and dropout rates. The school has a 72.6% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly lower than the state average, and a high dropout rate of 20.2%. Despite spending $19,339 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 9.8, the school's academic outcomes suggest that the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student success.
Overall, the data highlights the need for North Adams and Drury High School to closely examine their academic programs, support systems, and resource allocation to address the significant gaps in student performance and educational outcomes compared to the state averages. Targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to school improvement may be necessary to help the school better serve its students and community.
