Summary:
The 01562 zip code is home to a single public high school, David Prouty High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school is part of the Spencer-East Brookfield school district, which is ranked 289 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
David Prouty High School's performance has been relatively low in recent years, with a 1-star rating in 2022-2023 and a 2-star rating in 2024-2025. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 68.1%, which is below the state average, and the dropout rate for the same year was 22.3%, significantly higher than the state average. Academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation test scores, is generally below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and lower-than-average student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. Given the lack of other high school options in the 01562 zip code, there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes at David Prouty High School.
