Summary:
The 01929 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Essex Elementary, which serves grades K-5 with 231 students. While the school's test scores on the MCAS assessments are mixed compared to the Manchester Essex Regional district and the state of Massachusetts, it spends significantly more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, suggesting access to substantial resources.
Essex Elementary's performance on the MCAS assessments has been relatively consistent over the past two school years, with the school scoring above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, but below the district average. The school's Mathematics and Science scores, however, have been below both the district and state averages, indicating potential areas for improvement.
With a predominantly white student population, Essex Elementary may benefit from addressing the lack of diversity in its student body. Additionally, the school's high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it has the resources to support its students, but further analysis of its strategies, curriculum, and support systems could help identify best practices to share with other schools in the region.
