Quincy

Summary:

The Quincy school district in Massachusetts consists of 19 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a wide range of academic performance across the district, with some schools standing out as exceptional while others struggle to meet proficiency standards.

North Quincy High School is a standout, consistently ranking among the top schools in the state with a 4-star rating and strong MCAS test scores. It boasts a 89.4% four-year graduation rate and a 3.2% dropout rate, both of which are better than the district and state averages. Central Middle School is another top performer, ranking in the top 15% of Massachusetts middle schools with exceptional MCAS scores. Wollaston School, an elementary school, also stands out with the highest MCAS proficiency rates in the district.

In contrast, some schools, such as Snug Harbor Community School and Broad Meadows Middle, struggle to meet proficiency standards, with MCAS scores below 30% in certain subjects. The data suggests a correlation between higher spending per student and better academic outcomes, but there are also schools with lower spending that perform well, indicating that other factors, such as middle school preparation, may play a significant role in student success.
