Summary:
The Saugus school district in Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Belmonte STEAM Academy and Veterans Early Learning Center. While both schools serve the Saugus community, they have distinct characteristics and performance profiles.
Belmonte STEAM Academy is the larger of the two schools, with an enrollment of 800 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, though its ranking has fluctuated between the 500s and 600s over the past few years. Academically, Belmonte STEAM Academy performs slightly better than the Saugus district average on MCAS test scores, but still lags behind the state average, particularly in 5th grade English Language Arts.
In contrast, Veterans Early Learning Center is a smaller, early learning-focused school serving grades PK-1. Like Belmonte STEAM Academy, Veterans Early Learning Center is also consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a ranking between 487 and 550 over the past few years. However, due to the school's focus on early grades, there is limited recent MCAS test score data available for comparison.
