Summary:
The schools in Woburn serve a diverse student population, with 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant differences in academic performance across the district, with some standout schools like Linscott-Rumford Elementary and Clyde Reeves Elementary consistently outperforming the district and state averages on MCAS tests, while others struggle to meet the benchmarks.
Woburn High School stands out with a strong 91.2% four-year graduation rate, higher than the district and state averages. The data also reveals significant variation in spending per student, ranging from $16,502 at Hurld-Wyman Elementary to $23,217 at Shamrock Elementary, with no clear correlation between spending and academic performance.
The findings suggest that the district may need to address equity and resource allocation to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education, while also identifying and replicating the successful strategies of the top-performing schools. Factors like school culture, leadership, and instructional practices may play a significant role in student outcomes, providing an opportunity for the district to foster collaboration and share best practices across the system.
