Orange

Summary:

With only one school in the data set, the Fisher Hill School in Orange, Massachusetts is the sole focus of this analysis. The school serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 523 students.

The Fisher Hill School is struggling academically, with proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts (15.47% vs. 41.53%), Mathematics (18.84% vs. 40.74%), and Science (30.99% vs. 41.51%). The school's performance has been consistently low over the past two school years, and its statewide ranking has declined from 852 out of 928 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 801 out of 906 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $18,260 in the 2020-2021 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1, the Fisher Hill School's academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the challenges it faces in providing a high-quality education for its students.
