Lawrence


Summary:

The Lawrence school district in Massachusetts consists of 26 schools, including 14 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district faces significant academic challenges, with student performance well below state averages on standardized tests.

However, a few schools in the district stand out, including John K Tarbox Elementary School, Spark Academy, and Parthum Middle School. These schools have MCAS proficiency rates that are notably higher than the district averages, with Spark Academy and Parthum Middle School also earning 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, the highest rating among Lawrence middle schools.

In contrast, the district's alternative schools, such as the School for Exceptional Studies and RISE Academy, struggle with extremely low test scores, graduation rates, and high dropout rates, indicating a need for more resources and specialized programming to support these high-need student populations.
