Summary

Lt Clayre Sullivan Elementary is a public middle school located in Holyoke, MA, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 494 students. Unfortunately, this school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in Massachusetts, with academic outcomes that are significantly below state averages across all subject areas.

Lt Clayre Sullivan Elementary's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is particularly concerning. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 11.49% in English Language Arts, 6.04% in Mathematics, and 7.95% in Science, compared to state averages of 41.53%, 40.74%, and 41.51%, respectively. The school's struggles are not unique within the Holyoke school district, as other district middle schools, such as Holyoke STEM Academy and Joseph Metcalf School, also perform poorly on state assessments.

However, when compared to nearby schools in other districts, the stark contrast in academic performance becomes even more apparent. For example, Westfield Intermediate School and Michael E. Smith Middle School demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates, suggesting that with the right interventions and support, the students at Lt Clayre Sullivan Elementary could also achieve greater academic success.
