Summary:
The 01030 zip code in Massachusetts is home to a single middle school, Agawam Junior High, which serves grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 551 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.9, its academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, is consistently below the Agawam district and Massachusetts state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels.
Agawam Junior High is ranked 271 out of 484 Massachusetts middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating that it is performing below average compared to its peers statewide. The school's English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates are all lower than the district and state averages, and its Civics proficiency rate for 8th grade is also below the state average.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending of $19,287, these resources do not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes for students. The school district may need to closely examine the factors contributing to Agawam Junior High's below-average performance and identify strategies to improve student learning and outcomes.
