Elementary Schools in Plainville

The town of Plainville, Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, Beatrice H. Wood Elementary stands out as a consistently high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top half of Massachusetts elementary schools and outperforming the Plainville district and state averages on MCAS Next Generation tests, particularly in mathematics. In contrast, the data for Anna Ware Jackson Elementary is more limited, making it difficult to draw comprehensive comparisons between the two schools.

Beatrice H. Wood Elementary boasts a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 14.4, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. The school's MCAS test scores show that 65.43% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 64.63% for the Plainville district and 40.45% for the state. In contrast, Anna Ware Jackson Elementary spends significantly more per student ($18,473) than Beatrice H. Wood ($15,319), but lacks available MCAS test score data in the provided information.

While the data suggests that Beatrice H. Wood Elementary is a standout school within the Plainville district, the lack of comprehensive information for Anna Ware Jackson Elementary limits the ability to make a thorough comparison between the two schools. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the performance differences, as well as obtaining more complete data for both schools, would be beneficial to gain a deeper understanding of the educational landscape in Plainville.
