Elementary Schools in Quabbin

Summary:

The Quabbin district in Massachusetts is home to 5 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the district as a whole underperforms the state averages in academic proficiency, a few schools within the Quabbin district stand out as top performers.

Hubbardston Center and Oakham Center are the highest-ranked elementary schools in the Quabbin district, ranking 366 and 410 out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively. Both schools are rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger and consistently outperform the Quabbin and Massachusetts averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels.

In contrast, the other Quabbin elementary schools, including Hardwick Elementary, New Braintree Grade, and Ruggles Lane, have lower academic proficiency rates and rankings. Hardwick Elementary, in particular, had the lowest Mathematics proficiency among the Quabbin schools. The variation in student-teacher ratios and spending per student across the district may contribute to the disparities in academic outcomes observed.
