Summary

West Street Elementary School is a public school in Southbridge, Massachusetts, serving 328 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Southbridge school district, which is ranked 346 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Street consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Massachusetts, with proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation assessments that are significantly lower than the state averages, often less than half the statewide proficiency levels. The school struggles across various student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and white students, as well as English Language Learners, students with disabilities, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all in the bottom 10-20% of Massachusetts elementary schools. While West Street spends around $19,920 per student, which is higher than the state average, its performance is significantly lower than other elementary schools in the Southbridge district, such as Eastford Road and Charlton Street, as well as schools in neighboring districts like Dudley-Charlton Regional and Sturbridge.

West Street has been a consistently low-performing school for many years, with its statewide ranking never exceeding the bottom 10% of Massachusetts elementary schools. This suggests that the school has struggled to improve student outcomes over an extended period, and addressing the issues at West Street and other Southbridge schools will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational opportunities for the students of Southbridge.
