Summary:
The 01469 zip code in Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Spaulding Memorial and Squannacook Early Childhood Center. Based on the available data, Spaulding Memorial stands out as the higher-performing school in the area, with consistently stronger MCAS proficiency rates, a more favorable student-teacher ratio, and lower per-student spending compared to Squannacook Early Childhood Center.
Spaulding Memorial's MCAS proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math exceed the North Middlesex district and state averages, particularly in 3rd grade. The school's overall MCAS proficiency rate across all grades is 43.27% in ELA and 48.82% in Math, outperforming the district and state. Additionally, Spaulding Memorial has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.3, compared to 16.8 at Squannacook Early Childhood Center, and spends $18,015 per student, which is lower than the $21,737 spent per student at Squannacook.
While Spaulding Memorial's performance is strong, the data suggests a potential area for improvement in the upper elementary grades, as the school's proficiency rates decline from 3rd to 4th grade. Understanding the factors contributing to this decline could help the school identify ways to maintain and build upon its academic success in the later elementary years. Overall, the findings provide valuable insights that could inform decision-making and improvement efforts at both the school and district levels.
