Abington

The Abington school district in Massachusetts consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district's schools demonstrate a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with standout performance at Beaver Brook Elementary and consistent ranking for Abington Middle School, but declining performance at Abington High School.

Among the district's schools, Beaver Brook Elementary stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. The Abington Early Education Program also has the highest spending per student in the district, potentially indicating a focus on early childhood education. However, the district's schools generally perform better in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency than in Mathematics, with some schools, like Beaver Brook Elementary and Abington High School, having significantly lower Mathematics proficiency rates compared to the state average.

The Abington school district serves a diverse student population, with a majority of white students and significant percentages of Hispanic and African American students. While the district's schools have maintained a stable level of performance, the declining ranking of Abington High School is a concern that warrants further investigation. Additionally, the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess potential equity issues within the district, suggesting the need to examine resource allocation and support for underserved student groups.
