Wareham

The Wareham school district in Massachusetts consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The data reveals a mixed picture, with some schools standing out for their academic performance while others struggle to meet state averages.

Wareham Elementary School shows promise in its MCAS Next Generation Math scores, which are relatively high compared to the district and state averages. However, the school's ELA performance lags behind, and it has a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Wareham Senior High stands out for its stronger MCAS Next Generation ELA scores for 10th graders, though its overall Math and Science scores are below the state averages. The Wareham Cooperative Alternative School is a particular area of concern, with very low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and the lowest SchoolDigger rating among the Wareham schools.

Across the district, the Wareham schools generally perform below the state averages in MCAS Next Generation assessments, with some exceptions. The district also shows significant variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, suggesting potential resource allocation and equity issues. While the data does not indicate any correlation between the schools' racial makeup and their performance, the district may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices and strategies to improve academic outcomes and equity across all its schools.
