Summary:
The city of Haverhill, Massachusetts is home to 17 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this diverse district serve a student population with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation, ranging from 27.25% to 59.66% across the schools.
While many of the Haverhill schools face academic challenges, with proficiency rates below state averages, a few standout institutions shine. Whittier Regional Vocational high school ranks 209th out of 347 Massachusetts high schools and has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (58.57%) and the second-highest in Mathematics (40.81%) among the Haverhill high schools. Tilton elementary school boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio of 9.5, the best among the 9 elementary schools in the Haverhill district. The Bartlett School and Assessment Center, an alternative school, has the lowest student-teacher ratio of 5.8 across all the schools in the data set.
However, the data also reveals significant equity concerns within the Haverhill school district. Many schools serve predominantly low-income and minority student populations and perform well below state averages, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address these disparities. Addressing the challenges faced by the district's largest high school, Haverhill High, which consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts high schools, should be a key priority for the district.
