Whitman-Hanson

The Whitman-Hanson school district in Massachusetts consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some variation in academic performance across the schools.

Among the standout schools, Louise A Conley Elementary ranks 231 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools and has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. John H Duval Elementary has the lowest student-teacher ratio of 12.0, indicating a more personalized learning environment. As the only high school in the district, Whitman Hanson Regional High School stands out for its strong performance on MCAS tests, with 10th-grade proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages.

The district's performance on MCAS tests is mixed, with some schools exceeding state averages and others falling behind. The spending per student ranges from $14,294 to $16,129 across the schools, and the student-teacher ratios vary from 11.7 to 25.7, suggesting differences in the level of individualized attention students may receive. While the district's focus on early childhood education through the Pre-School Academy is commendable, the high percentage of white students across the schools raises questions about the district's ability to serve diverse student populations and address potential equity concerns.
