Summary

Tilton is an elementary school located in Haverhill, Massachusetts, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 446 students. While the school's overall academic performance on MCAS assessments is generally below the state average, with only 29.63% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 35.8% in Mathematics, Tilton's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform significantly better than the state average, ranking in the top 25% and top 5% of Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups.

Tilton's female students also outperform their male counterparts, ranking in the top 33% and top 40% of Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively, in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) students perform better than the state average, ranking in the top 40% and top 56% of Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively. However, Tilton's White students perform significantly worse than the state average, ranking in the bottom 21% of Massachusetts elementary schools in 2024-2025.

While Tilton has a relatively high per-student spending of $18,905 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, these resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's consistent underperformance over the past decade, with its ranking ranging from 492 to 879 out of over 900 schools, suggests a need for significant improvement in the school's instructional practices and a comprehensive approach to addressing the unique needs of different student populations. Interestingly, some nearby schools, such as Pentucket Lake Elementary and Bradford Elementary, also struggle with low performance, indicating that the challenges faced by Tilton may be systemic within the Haverhill school district.
