Swansea

The Swansea school district in Massachusetts consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district, with Joseph Case High School and Joseph G. Luther Elementary School standing out as relatively strong performers.

Joseph Case High School boasts relatively high MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, outperforming the Swansea district and state averages. The school also has a high 4-year graduation rate of 89.1% and a low dropout rate of 5.9%. In contrast, Joseph Case Junior High and the elementary schools generally perform on par with or slightly below the district averages in MCAS subjects.

The data also reveals that the schools in Swansea have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 91.01% to 94.6% across the different schools. While this consistency in performance across the district may indicate a cohesive curriculum and teaching approach, it also raises questions about equity and access for underrepresented minority groups. Addressing these concerns and identifying strategies to raise academic achievement across the district could be valuable next steps for the Swansea school district.
