Elementary Schools in Whately

There is only one elementary school located in Whately, Massachusetts - Whately Elementary. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the Whately school district.

While Whately Elementary has a relatively high percentage of white students and low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, its academic performance, as measured by MCAS test scores, is generally below the state average. The school's ranking has also declined significantly over the past few years, dropping from 177 out of 932 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 423 out of 916 in 2023-2024. This suggests a potential decline in the school's academic performance or other factors that have contributed to its lower ranking.

Whately Elementary's academic performance is uneven, with strong science scores but below-average performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school's high per-student spending of $22,207 does not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes, indicating that the school may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation. Overall, while Whately Elementary has some positive attributes, it appears to be a relatively average school in the state of Massachusetts, and may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices and efforts to improve academic performance across all subject areas.
