Elementary Schools in Tewksbury

Summary:

The Tewksbury elementary school district in Massachusetts consists of three schools serving grades PK-4: Center Elementary School, L.F. Dewing, and Heath-Brook. Based on the available data, Center Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking in the top 45% of Massachusetts elementary schools and consistently outperforming the Tewksbury district and state averages on MCAS tests.

Center Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1, which may contribute to its academic success. The school's strongest performance is in 3rd grade, where it exceeds the district and state averages by a significant margin in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's 4th-grade proficiency rates are lower than 3rd grade, suggesting a potential need for improvement in the upper elementary grades.

The younger grade schools, L.F. Dewing and Heath-Brook, have slightly lower student-teacher ratios of 13.1 and 13.0, respectively, which may benefit the early childhood education programs. These schools also have higher per-student spending compared to the state average, indicating a strategic focus on investing in the younger grades within the Tewksbury district.
