Agawam

Summary:

The Agawam school district in Massachusetts consists of 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves students from pre-K through 12th grade and provides a range of educational opportunities for the local community.

Among the Agawam schools, Benjamin J Phelps Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest MCAS proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. This school also has the highest state ranking, placing it in the top 40% of Massachusetts elementary schools. In contrast, Agawam Junior High and Agawam High School show room for improvement on state assessments, though Agawam High maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.2% and a low dropout rate of 6.2%.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and resource allocation across the Agawam schools. Per-student spending ranges from $17,898 to $25,355, with the Agawam Early Childhood Center having the highest expenditure.

These differences suggest the district may need to examine its resource allocation and best practices to ensure more equitable outcomes for all students.
