Summary:
The city of Indian Orchard, Massachusetts has only one school, Indian Orchard Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 565 students. The school is part of the Springfield district, which is ranked 321 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Indian Orchard Elementary has consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools for the past three school years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are significantly lower than the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 22.86% in ELA, 22.97% in Math, and 22.97% in Science, compared to state averages of 41.53%, 40.74%, and 41.51%, respectively.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $18,854 in the 2020-2021 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, the data suggests that the resources are not effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The school's consistently low performance across multiple academic subjects and grade levels indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to help improve educational outcomes for the students of Indian Orchard Elementary.
