Summary

R. H. Conwell is a small PK–6 elementary school in Worthington, MA, serving 76 students in a rural hilltown community in western Massachusetts. It is the school for the Worthington district, which ranks 347th of 351 districts statewide (1st percentile, 0 stars). The school's own statewide rank has been low and has slipped: 845th of 899 schools in 2025–2026 (6th percentile, 0 stars), 837th of 906 in 2024–2025, and 674th of 928 in 2022–2023 (27th percentile, 1 star).

In the most recent MCAS Next Generation results, R. H. Conwell is below the state in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, all-grade ELA proficiency was 30.77% vs. 40.03% statewide, and math was 15.38% vs. 41.11%. In 2024–2025, science proficiency was 15.38% vs. 41.51%. Math is the most severe and worsening weakness, falling from 34.29% in 2022–2023 to 31.71%, 21.21%, then 15.38% in 2025–2026 while state math held near 40–41%. ELA has ranged from 27.5% to 34.29% across reported years vs. 39.17%–42.29% statewide. With only 76 students, percentages rest on small cohorts and can swing on a few students, but the low results are consistent across subjects and years.

Among nearby elementary schools, R. H. Conwell stands out at the low end. Its 6th percentile rank is the lowest of any nearby school with 2025–2026 ranks; the next lowest is Littleville at 37. New Hingham, 4.5 miles away, posts 41.18% math, Chester reaches 67.5%, and Anne T. Dunphy, about 10.6 miles away, sits at the 96th percentile with 69.35% ELA, 75.81% math, and 100% science. Per-student spending of $17,070 (2020–2021) is lower than most nearby schools, yet Kittredge ($17,561) and Littleville spend similarly and post higher results, so spending alone does not explain the gap. Its 10.1 student-teacher ratio is comparable to Littleville and Becket Washington. Free/reduced lunch data are blank across provided years, so economic context is unavailable and should not be inferred.
