Summary:
The 01368 zip code in Massachusetts is home to a single elementary school, Royalston Community School, which serves grades PK-6 with 148 students. The school is part of the Athol-Royalston school district, which is ranked 320 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Royalston Community School does not appear to be a standout school, as its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 505 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 624 out of 906 in 2024-2025. The school is also rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Its test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state averages, with only 29.58% of students proficient or better in ELA and 28.17% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.53% and 40.74%, respectively.
Despite the school's relatively low performance, it spends a significant amount per student ($17,390 in 2020-2021) and has a relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1. These factors suggest that the school's resource allocation and teaching practices may not be as effective as they could be in improving student outcomes. Overall, the data indicates that Royalston Community School is a struggling school that is not keeping pace with other elementary schools in Massachusetts.
