Abington

Abington, MA has four schools serving roughly 2,061 students: two elementary, one middle, and one high school. Beaver Brook Elementary covers grades K–2 with 491 students, and Woodsdale Elementary School covers grades 3–4 with 372; both feed into Abington Middle School (grades 5–8, 668 students, the largest school in the district) and Abington High (grades 9–12, 530 students). The Abington district is ranked 195 of 351 statewide, at the 44th percentile, with 2 stars. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all four schools, so socioeconomic context is unavailable here, and spending figures date to 2020–2021.

Abington High is the clearest bright spot, climbing from the 32nd percentile with 2 stars to the 65th percentile with 3 stars. It beats the state in 10th-grade ELA (51.33% vs 45.48%) and 10th-grade science (52.73% vs 40.5%), though 10th-grade math (42.11%) trails the state's 43.73%. Abington Middle School has held 3 stars but is uneven: 7th- and 8th-grade ELA, 6th-grade math, and 8th-grade civics exceed state averages, while 5th-grade math, ELA, and science fall well below.

Woodsdale Elementary School is the main concern, sliding from the 57th percentile and 3 stars to the 36th percentile and 2 stars, with ELA consistently below state and math dropping from above state (44.66% vs 40.74%) to below (35.4% vs 41.11%) in a single year. It also has the highest student-teacher ratio at 14.9. Beaver Brook Elementary has a ratio of 12.5 and the highest per-student spending ($14,977), but as a K–2 school it has no current MCAS results to compare. Resources do not map neatly onto results: Abington High has the lowest ratio (11.3) and the strongest outcomes, while spending is similar across all four schools.
