Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating a consistent level of performance that falls in the middle range for Massachusetts elementary schools.

While the schools have similar ratings, there are some notable differences in their key metrics. William P.

Gorman/Fort Banks Elementary spends more per student at $17,647, while Arthur T. Cummings Elementary School spends $16,490 per student. However, this higher spending does not appear to translate into better academic performance, as both schools maintain similar 2-star ratings.

In terms of academic achievement, Arthur T. Cummings Elementary School generally lags behind the Winthrop district and Massachusetts state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grades. The school's strongest performance is in 5th grade Science, where it exceeds the district and state averages. This data suggests that Arthur T.
