Summary:
The 01098 zip code has only one school, R. H. Conwell, an elementary school serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 73 students. The school is part of the Worthington school district, which is ranked 345 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
R. H. Conwell's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels on the MCAS Next Generation assessments. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 15.38% to 33.33% in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, compared to state averages of 38.37% to 45.83%. The school's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 674 out of 928 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 837 out of 906 in 2024-2025.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,070 for the 2020-2021 school year and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.9 to 1, these resources have not translated into strong academic outcomes for students. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be enough to improve student performance, and that other factors, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be playing a role in the school's underperformance.
