Wareham

The schools in Wareham, Massachusetts serve a diverse student population across 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). While the schools have some standout elements, the data reveals significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates consistently below state averages.

Wareham Elementary School has the largest student population, but its academic performance is concerning, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math well below the state averages. In contrast, Wareham Senior High has the second-largest student population, but its academic performance also lags behind state standards. The smallest school, Wareham Cooperative Alternative School, has the highest student-teacher ratio and the lowest statewide ranking among the Wareham schools.

Across the district, the schools serve a diverse student population, but the data suggests that the district may be facing challenges in equitably allocating resources, as evidenced by the wide range in per-student spending. The overall trend of declining academic performance and inconsistent school rankings indicates that the Wareham schools need to closely examine their instructional practices, support systems, and resource allocation to address these issues and improve outcomes for all students.
