Orange

The town of Orange, Massachusetts has only one public elementary school, the Fisher Hill School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 294 students. The school is part of the Orange school district, which is ranked 337 out of 351 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Fisher Hill School is consistently performing below state averages on MCAS tests, with proficiency rates of just 17.28% in English Language Arts and 17.22% in Mathematics across all grade levels, compared to state averages of 39.17% and 40.91% respectively. As a result, the school has a ranking of 783 out of 916 elementary schools in Massachusetts and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

Despite the school's low academic performance, its spending per student is relatively high at $18,260, and it maintains a small student-teacher ratio of 15:1. However, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved outcomes for students. The school's predominantly White student population also raises questions about its ability to address the needs of a diverse student body and ensure equitable educational opportunities.
