Summary:
Whitman, Massachusetts is served by four schools in the Whitman-Hanson district — two elementary schools serving grades K–5, one middle school serving grades 6–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12 — with 2,407 students enrolled in total, about 41% of them at the high school alone. The Whitman-Hanson district ranks 215th of 351 in Massachusetts, the 39th percentile, with 2 stars.
Among the four, Louise A Conley has the strongest current results: ELA 40.00, math 41.70, and science 48.00, above district in all three subjects and well above state in science. It is the only current 3-star school, though it slipped from the 68th to the 50th percentile, including a 16.9-point science drop. John H Duval is the most uneven: its 3rd-grade math score of 63.27 is the highest single figure here, but its science score of 24.59 is far below district and state, and it ranks in the 41st percentile with 2 stars. Whitman Middle has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.4, yet all-grade ELA of 33.33 and math of 30.26 trail both district and state; 8th grade is a relative bright spot. Whitman Hanson Regional graduates 91.6% of students, above the district's 88.9%, but its 10th-grade ELA, math, science, and biology scores are all below state.
Science is the most volatile subject locally: the high school's 10th-grade science fell 25.5 points year over year, Conley's fell 16.9, and Duval's fell 19.4, while statewide science was roughly flat. Spending and staffing ratios do not line up simply with outcomes — Duval spends the most per student at $16,129 but has the lowest science score, while Conley spends the least yet posts the strongest elementary results. Free and reduced-lunch data is unavailable for all four schools, so economic context cannot be assessed.
