Best Public Schools in Zip Code 01431

Summary:

The zip code 01431 has only one public elementary school, Ashby Elementary, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 141 students. Ashby Elementary's academic performance shows some strengths, with its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates exceeding the North Middlesex district and Massachusetts state averages, particularly in 4th grade. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rates, especially in 3rd grade, are lower than the district and state averages, indicating an area for potential improvement.

Despite its relatively strong ELA performance, Ashby Elementary has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year, ranking 503 out of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools. This suggests that other factors, such as student growth or school climate, may be contributing to the school's lower overall ranking. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.3 is relatively low, which could be a positive factor, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.

The data does not provide information on the school's free/reduced lunch rates, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance. Overall, Ashby Elementary appears to have strengths in ELA, but the lower mathematics proficiency rates and the school's overall ranking suggest areas for potential improvement and further investigation.
