Summary:
The city of Westminster, Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Westminster Elementary and Meetinghouse School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and are part of the Ashburnham-Westminster school district, which is ranked 189 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts.
Based on the available data, there are no clear standout schools in Westminster. Both Westminster Elementary and Meetinghouse School appear to be relatively average-performing schools within the district. Westminster Elementary has consistently been ranked between 500 and 534 out of around 900-930 Massachusetts elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Meetinghouse School does not have any available ranking or rating information. In terms of academic performance, Westminster Elementary's proficiency rates on MCAS Next Generation assessments are generally below the district and state averages, except for 3rd grade Mathematics, where the school exceeds the averages.
The data also reveals a significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools, with Meetinghouse School spending over $3,000 more per student than Westminster Elementary. However, without information on the free/reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to fully understand the socioeconomic context of the student populations and how that may impact academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Westminster, Massachusetts face some systemic challenges, and more comprehensive information would be needed to gain a deeper understanding of the educational landscape in the area.
