Summary:

ZIP code 01001 covers Agawam, Massachusetts, and includes three elementary schools — Benjamin J Phelps, James Clark School, and William P. Sapelli Elementary — all serving grades K–4 within the Agawam district, which ranks 207 of 351 districts statewide (41st percentile, 2 stars). Combined enrollment is 891 students, and the three schools are close in size: Benjamin J Phelps (304), James Clark (297), and Sapelli (290), within 14 students of each other.

Benjamin J Phelps has the strongest current profile: 391 of 899, 57th percentile, 3 stars, the highest ELA proficiency at 44.44% and math at 46.40%, both above district (34.41% ELA, 36.12% math) and state (40.03% ELA, 41.11% math) averages, with the lowest student–teacher ratio at 13.4. Its ELA fell 7.41 points, from 51.85% to 44.44%, but remains above averages. Sapelli is the biggest improver, rising from 579 of 906 (36th percentile, 2 stars) to 409 of 899 (55th percentile, 3 stars), with math up 12.63 points, from 35.45% to 48.08% — the highest math in the group, and 11.96 points above the district. It has the lowest per-student spending at $17,898.

James Clark ranks lowest at 511 of 899 (43rd percentile, 2 stars) with the lowest ELA (35.29%) and math (40.44%), though both exceed district averages. Its grade-level results split sharply: 3rd grade is strong at 47.89% ELA and 53.52% math, while 4th grade falls to 21.54% ELA and 26.15% math — gaps of roughly 26 and 27 points. Benjamin's 4th-grade math, 52.73%, is the group's best. Spending and student–teacher ratios don't line up simply with outcomes here, and free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable for all three, so socioeconomic comparisons can't be made.
