Summary:
The 01440 zip code area of Gardner, Massachusetts is home to 4 public schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative high school). While the Gardner school district as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to state averages, a few schools stand out in the data.
Gardner Middle School is the highest performing of the 4 schools, with a statewide rank of 331 out of 493 Massachusetts middle schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, while still below state averages, are generally higher than the other schools in the data set. Gardner High School also performs relatively well, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.9% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%, though its test scores are still below state averages.
In contrast, Gardner Academy for Learning and Technology, the alternative high school, stands out with its low student enrollment of only 108 students, high student-teacher ratio of 22.5, and the lowest test scores and graduation rate (68.6%) of the schools in the data set. This suggests the school may be struggling to effectively serve its high-need student population.
