Summary:
The Paul R. Baird Middle School is the sole middle school located in Ludlow, Massachusetts, serving grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the Ludlow district and Massachusetts state averages on MCAS assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state and district levels in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,374 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1, the Paul R. Baird Middle School is ranked 300 out of 484 Massachusetts middle schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school may face challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to provide a high-quality education to its 532 students.
The data indicates that there is significant room for improvement in the school's academic performance and overall quality. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance could be a valuable area of focus for the Ludlow district and school leadership, with the goal of developing targeted interventions and support to help the Paul R. Baird Middle School better serve its students and community.
