Summary:

The 02452 zip code in Waltham, Massachusetts is home to a single elementary school, Northeast Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 500 students. While the school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 10.3, its academic performance lags behind both the Waltham district and the Massachusetts state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments.

Northeast Elementary School is ranked 623 out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science range from 20% to 50% across different grade levels, compared to district averages of 30-44% and state averages of 38-44%. This performance has been relatively consistent over the past two school years, suggesting the school may need additional support and resources to improve student outcomes.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $23,912 for the 2020-2021 school year, the data indicates that funding alone may not be the sole factor driving the school's performance. Other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may need to be examined to identify areas for improvement and help Northeast Elementary School better serve its students.
