Summary

Chandler Magnet is an elementary school in Worcester, MA that serves 548 students in grades PK-6. Despite being part of the Worcester school district, which is ranked 302 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts, Chandler Magnet has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past decade.

Chandler Magnet significantly underperforms the Worcester district and Massachusetts state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15.18% of Chandler Magnet students scored proficient or better in ELA compared to 25.85% in Worcester and 41.53% statewide. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% for Hispanic, English Language Learner, low-income, and special education students.

Interestingly, several nearby schools such as Flagg Street, West Tatnuck, and Midland Street significantly outperform Chandler Magnet on academic measures, despite being in the same district. Additionally, Chandler Magnet spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools, yet its academic outcomes are substantially worse, indicating that simply increasing funding and reducing class sizes may not be sufficient to drive improvement at the school.
