Summary:
ZIP code 01001 covers Agawam, Massachusetts, where five public schools serve about 2,438 students from kindergarten through 12th grade: three elementary schools (K–4), one middle school (5–8), and one high school (9–12), all in the Agawam district, which is ranked 207 of 351 districts statewide at the 41st percentile with 2 stars.
The strongest elementary options are Benjamin J Phelps and William P. Sapelli Elementary, both rated 3 stars. Phelps ranks 391 of 899 (57th percentile) and posts 44.44% ELA and 46.40% math proficiency in All Grades, above both district and state, while Sapelli ranks 409 of 899 (55th percentile) and has the highest All Grades math proficiency of the five schools at 48.08%, with 3rd-grade math at 53.70%. James Clark School lags at 2 stars and the 43rd percentile, and shows the largest within-school grade swing in the data — 3rd grade at 47.89% ELA and 53.52% math, falling to 21.54% ELA and 26.15% math in 4th grade. Roberta G. Doering School, the middle school, has no rank history here but stands out in science (41.80% All Grades, above district and state) while its All Grades ELA (33.13%) and math (34.20%) are below state.
Agawam High enrolls 1,025 students — about 42.0% of the area's total — with a 93.6% graduation rate and 4.3% dropout rate, and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.9, but 10th-grade math proficiency is 32.13%, more than 11 points below the state's 43.73%. Notably, Clark spends the most per student ($22,063 in 2020–2021) and has the highest student-teacher ratio (16.1) yet posts weaker overall results than Phelps or Sapelli, though the spending and test data come from different years. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all five schools, so socioeconomic comparisons are not possible here.
