Summary:
The Dennis-Yarmouth school district in Massachusetts serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces some academic challenges, with test scores generally below state averages, but a few standout schools are outperforming the rest of the district.
Station Avenue Elementary and Ezra H Baker Innovation School are the top-performing schools in the district, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other schools and the district as a whole. In contrast, Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School struggles, with low proficiency rates, a 77.9% four-year graduation rate, and an 8.4% dropout rate.
The district as a whole has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by its 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests potential equity issues that may be contributing to the disparities in academic performance between the schools. Additionally, the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also be factors in the performance gaps, and could be an area for further investigation by the district.
