Summary:
The 01056 zip code is home to a single high school, Ludlow Senior High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate of 89.6% and a low dropout rate of 4.4%, its academic performance has seen a concerning decline in recent years, with proficiency rates falling well below the Ludlow district and Massachusetts state averages.
Ludlow Senior High has a student enrollment of 750 and a student-teacher ratio of 10.7, which is typically associated with more personalized attention and support for students. However, the school's MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have all dropped significantly, from above the Ludlow district average in 2023-2024 to well below both the district and state averages in 2024-2025. This decline in academic performance is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $17,104 in 2020-2021, the data does not provide information on the school's demographic composition or the effective allocation and utilization of these resources. Understanding these factors could offer valuable insights into the underlying causes of the school's declining academic performance and help inform strategies to improve student outcomes.
