Summary

Union Hill School is an elementary school in Worcester, MA that serves 369 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Worcester school district, which is ranked 302 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Union Hill School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with its ranking ranging from 532 to 890 out of around 900-940 schools. The school significantly underperforms compared to the Worcester district and Massachusetts state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments, with only 13.68% of Union Hill students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 25.85% for Worcester and 41.53% statewide. The school's math and science proficiency rates are also much lower than district and state averages. While Union Hill performs relatively well for African American students and English Language Learners, it ranks very low for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Union Hill School's per-student spending is on the higher end compared to nearby schools in the Worcester district, such as Vernon Hill School, Rice Square, and Grafton Street. However, the school's performance continues to decline, with its statewide ranking dropping from the 500s to the 800s over the past 5-10 years. This suggests the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student learning at Union Hill School.
