Summary:
The Whitman-Hanson school district in Massachusetts consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district's performance varies, with some standout schools like Indian Head Elementary and Louise A Conley Elementary consistently outperforming the district and state averages on MCAS tests, while others like Whitman Middle and John H Duval Elementary struggle.
Whitman Hanson Regional High School, the district's only high school, has a strong 92.6% four-year graduation rate and a 2.7% dropout rate, both of which are better than the state averages. However, the school's MCAS performance is mixed, with 53.39% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 44.62% in Mathematics.
The district's spending per student ranges from $14,298 to $16,129, with John H Duval Elementary spending the most. Student-teacher ratios vary as well, from 11.7 at Hanson Middle School to 15.2 at Whitman Hanson Regional High School. These differences in performance, resources, and staffing highlight the need for the district to identify and replicate the practices of the standout schools while also addressing the needs of the lower-performing schools to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
