Elementary Schools in Monomoy Regional School District

Summary:

The Monomoy Regional School District in Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools serving grades K-5: Harwich Elementary School and Chatham Elementary School. Based on the available data, Chatham Elementary School appears to be the standout performer in the district, with higher statewide rankings, stronger MCAS test scores, and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to Harwich Elementary School.

Chatham Elementary School has a statewide ranking of 260 out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than Harwich Elementary School's ranking of 364. Chatham also boasts stronger MCAS proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (58.82%) and Mathematics (53.85%), outperforming the district and state averages. The school's 3rd grade MCAS results are particularly impressive, with 68.75% proficiency in ELA and 48.48% in Math.

In contrast, Harwich Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 337 in 2022-2023 to 364 in 2024-2025. This trend warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools ($26,315 at Chatham vs. $21,353 at Harwich) may be a factor in their performance gap, and it would be valuable to analyze how these resources are being allocated.
