Summary:
The 01005 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school - all part of the Quabbin school district. While the schools share some similarities, such as high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, their academic performance varies significantly.
Quabbin Regional High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 85.3%, but also has a higher than average dropout rate of 9.6%. The school's MCAS test scores are mixed, with 10th-grade students performing slightly below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Ruggles Lane Elementary School excels in certain areas, with 5th-grade students scoring significantly higher than the district and state averages in Science, and 4th-grade students outperforming the district and state in Mathematics.
Across the schools, student demographics are relatively homogeneous, with a predominantly white student population ranging from 87.43% to 88.4%. While the schools have access to significant resources, as evidenced by their high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the inconsistent academic performance suggests that simply having more resources may not be the sole factor in driving student success. The data highlights areas where the schools could focus their efforts to improve, such as addressing the high dropout rate at Quabbin Regional High School and the low Mathematics performance at Ruggles Lane Elementary School.
