Summary:
The city of Baldwinville, Massachusetts is home to two public schools - Narragansett Regional High and Narragansett Middle, both of which serve students in the Narragansett school district. Unfortunately, the data reveals that neither school is performing exceptionally well, with both ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Massachusetts.
Narragansett Regional High had a 75.9% four-year graduation rate and a 12.7% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, which are concerning statistics. Both Narragansett Regional High and Narragansett Middle also struggled with test scores, performing below the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The schools' weakest performance was in Mathematics, with only 25-28% of students proficient or better across all grades.
Despite relatively high spending per student ($16,029 for Narragansett Regional High and $15,210 for Narragansett Middle) and reasonable student-teacher ratios (13.1 and 16.4, respectively), the schools have consistently been ranked in the bottom half of their school types in Massachusetts for the past three years. This suggests that the district may be facing systemic challenges in effectively allocating resources and improving academic outcomes for its students.
