Chandler Elementary serves PK–2 and has no state test or rank history, so it cannot be evaluated academically here.
Every ranked school sits at the 82nd percentile or higher statewide. Note that all-grade district figures are aggregates, so grade-level comparisons are more meaningful — Alden's and the middle school's all-grade ELA and math figures look softer against the district than their grade-level results do. Chandler Elementary has the highest per-student spending ($18,900) and highest student/teacher ratio (12.7), while Duxbury High has the lowest ratio (9.9). Spending data is from 2020–21, while test and rank data cover 2024–26. Free/reduced lunch percentages are not reported for any school, so socioeconomic context is unknown.
