Summary:
The city of Rowe, Massachusetts has only one public school, Rowe Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain MCAS subject areas, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of elementary schools statewide over the past few years.
Rowe Elementary has an enrollment of 61 students and is ranked 154 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts, with a 3 out of 5 star rating. Its statewide ranking has declined from 905 out of 932 in 2021-2022 to 351 out of 906 in 2024-2025, suggesting the school is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state. Academically, the school's ELA and math proficiency rates are only slightly above the state average, while its science proficiency rate is higher at 58.33% compared to the state average of 41.51%.
Despite its higher spending per student at $28,842 in 2020-2021, Rowe Elementary's academic performance has not translated into consistently strong outcomes. The school's small size, with only 61 students, may present unique challenges in terms of resources, staffing, and programming compared to larger schools. Overall, while Rowe Elementary has some bright spots, the data suggests the school has room for improvement to better serve the educational needs of its students.
