Summary:
The 01432 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Page Hilltop Elementary School, which serves students in the Ayer Shirley School District. While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to state averages, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates lagging behind both the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Page Hilltop Elementary School's statewide ranking has dropped from 369 out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 485 out of 906 in 2024-2025, indicating that the school is struggling to keep up with academic performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates range from 26.39% to 53.93% across different grade levels and subject areas, with the lowest performance in 5th grade Mathematics at 23.38% proficient.
However, the school does perform better than the district and state in Science, with 50.65% of 5th grade students proficient or better. This suggests that the school may have strengths in certain subject areas that could be leveraged to improve overall academic achievement. While the school's investment in resources, such as a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student, is commendable, it does not appear to be translating into higher academic performance across all subject areas.
