The Ayer Shirley School District in Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Page Hilltop Elementary School and Lura A. White Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years.
While Page Hilltop Elementary School has higher proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation/Science for all grades and 5th grade compared to district and state averages, Lura A. White Elementary School stands out with higher proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation/Mathematics for 4th and 5th grades. However, both schools generally perform below the state averages in MCAS Next Generation/English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grades.
In terms of resources, Lura A. White Elementary School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8 compared to 13.2 at Page Hilltop Elementary School, and it also spends more per student at $19,027 compared to $16,740 at Page Hilltop Elementary School. However, these differences in resources do not necessarily translate to higher overall academic performance.
