Summary

Erving Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Erving, MA, with 123 students. The school is part of the Erving school district, which is ranked 287 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Erving Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 605-894 out of around 900-936 schools. The school's overall SchoolDigger rating has been 0-2 stars out of 5 during this time period, indicating below-average performance. Proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are generally lower than the state averages across all grades and subjects, with particularly weak performance in 5th grade Math. Nearby schools like Northfield Elementary, Swift River, and Gill Elementary generally outperform Erving Elementary on MCAS assessments.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $41,150 and a low student-teacher ratio ranging from 6.3 to 7.1, Erving Elementary is not translating these resources into strong academic outcomes. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students, low-income students, and white students performing relatively poorly. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing equity and inclusion issues, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of its resource allocation and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools.
