Summary:
The 01077 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Powder Mill School and Woodland School) and 1 high school (Southwick Regional School) - all part of the Southwick-Tolland-Granville Regional School District. These schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with Southwick Regional School and Powder Mill School standing out as top performers in the area.
Southwick Regional High School is the clear standout, ranking in the top half of Massachusetts high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 92.7% four-year graduation rate, low 2.1% dropout rate, and impressive MCAS test scores that exceed the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Powder Mill Elementary School shines in the early grades, with 3rd-grade students significantly outperforming the district and state on MCAS exams.
While the schools in the 01077 zip code generally perform well, there are some potential equity concerns to consider. The student populations are predominantly white, and the district-wide MCAS proficiency rates tend to lag behind the individual school results. Additionally, there is a notable difference in per-student spending between the high school/one elementary school and the other elementary school, which could be a factor in their performance. Overall, the data highlights the strengths of the schools in the area, particularly Southwick Regional High School and Powder Mill Elementary, while also suggesting areas for further investigation to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
