Summary:
The 01081 zip code in Massachusetts is home to a single public elementary school, Wales Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 93 students. The school is part of the Wales school district, which is ranked 307 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Wales Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a ranking between 654 and 701 out of 906-928 schools over the past three school years. The school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 5.88% to 45.45% in math, compared to the state average of 39.93% to 42.7%. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 8.6 is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $17,710, which is higher than the state average, these resources do not appear to be translating into academic achievement.
Without information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate, it's difficult to determine the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's challenges and identify potential strategies to improve student outcomes.
