Summary

Belmonte STEAM Academy is an elementary school located in Saugus, Massachusetts, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 800 students. The school is part of the Saugus school district, which is ranked 271 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belmonte STEAM Academy's proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the Saugus district average, but lower than the state average. The school's performance is particularly strong in certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, where it ranks in the top 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools. Belmonte STEAM Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.5 to 17.6 over the past three school years, which may contribute to the school's ability to provide more individualized attention to students.

While Belmonte STEAM Academy's overall performance is above the Saugus district average, the school's relatively low ranking among Massachusetts elementary schools (between 538 and 584 out of 906-928 schools) suggests that there is room for growth in the school's academic outcomes. The school's performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools in the Lynn school district, but lags behind the high-performing schools in the Melrose school district, such as Winthrop and Horace Mann.
