Summary

Rowe Elementary is a small public elementary school located in Rowe, MA, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 61 students. The school is part of the Rowe school district, which is ranked 154 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rowe Elementary stands out for its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.6 to 7.8 over the past few years, significantly lower than the nearby schools, which have ratios ranging from 7.9 to 15.1. However, the school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments has been mixed, with 42.86% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math in 2024-2025, slightly above the state average, but only 6.9% of students proficient or better in Math in 2021-2022, below the state average. Rowe Elementary also has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $26,006 to $29,746 over the past few years, higher than the nearby North Adams and Mohawk Trail district schools.

The data suggests Rowe Elementary's performance has been quite volatile, with the school ranking as high as 196 out of 930 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2011-2012 and as low as 905 out of 932 in 2021-2022. While the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby schools, these nearby schools have lower spending per student and higher student-teacher ratios, indicating Rowe Elementary may not be maximizing its resources to drive more consistent academic achievement. The school may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and resource allocation to identify opportunities for improvement.
