Summary:
The Wakefield area is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the data analysis, two schools stand out as top performers - Woodville School and Greenwood. Both schools consistently rank among the top 25-30% of elementary schools in Massachusetts and demonstrate strong academic achievement, with MCAS proficiency rates exceeding the Wakefield district and state averages.
The Woodville School, in particular, is a standout performer, ranking in the top 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school outperforms the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics MCAS scores across all grade levels, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1, which may contribute to its academic success. Greenwood also demonstrates strong MCAS performance, particularly in Mathematics, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 14.
While the other two schools, Dolbeare and Walton, have more mixed performance, the data suggests that factors beyond just spending and student-teacher ratios may contribute to a school's academic success. The analysis highlights the need for a comprehensive understanding of the factors that drive educational outcomes in the Wakefield area.
