Elementary Schools in Wareham

The Wareham area has only one elementary school, Wareham Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by MCAS test scores, is significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Wareham Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 795 out of 936 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 627 out of 928 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating out of 5. The school's percentage of students proficient or better in ELA for all grades is 35.9%, compared to the state average of 42.29%, and its percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics for all grades is 31.95%, compared to the state average of 40.6%. Without information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate, it's difficult to assess potential equity concerns that may be contributing to the school's academic struggles.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending of $20,045, the data suggests that Wareham Elementary School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance and statewide ranking. Further analysis of the school's specific strategies and resource allocation would be necessary to provide more comprehensive insights and recommendations for improvement.
