Summary:
The Danvers school district in Massachusetts is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, two schools stand out as top performers: Ivan G Smith and Willis E Thorpe. These schools consistently outperform the Danvers district and Massachusetts state averages on MCAS assessments, with proficiency rates ranking in the top 35% and top 50% of elementary schools statewide, respectively.
While the other Danvers elementary schools, Highlands, Riverside, and Great Oak, demonstrate more mixed results, they still generally perform better than the state average. Riverside, in particular, shows promise with 3rd grade proficiency rates exceeding the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the data suggests there are still significant gaps in proficiency rates across the Danvers elementary schools, indicating room for improvement in addressing learning disparities.
Across the district, the elementary schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 12.4 to 14.9 students per teacher. Per-student spending is also similar, falling between $16,060 and $19,147 per student. While these factors do not appear to directly correlate with academic performance, the data highlights the diversity of student outcomes among the Danvers elementary schools, with Ivan G Smith and Willis E Thorpe emerging as the standout performers in the region.
