Summary:
The city of Brewster, Massachusetts is home to two strong-performing elementary schools: Stony Brook Elementary and Eddy Elementary. Both schools consistently outperform the state average on academic assessments, with Stony Brook Elementary ranking in the top 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools and Eddy Elementary performing above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Stony Brook Elementary has a more diverse student population, with 23.91% of students being non-white, compared to Eddy Elementary's 19.4% non-white students. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Stony Brook at 9.2 and Eddy at 9.7. However, Stony Brook Elementary spends significantly more per student ($26,537) compared to Eddy Elementary ($23,827), which may suggest differences in resource allocation or prioritization within the district.
While the data indicates that Brewster's elementary schools are performing well overall, there are some areas that warrant further exploration. Eddy Elementary's ranking within the state has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from the top 50% to the bottom 50% and then back up again, which could be an area of concern. Additionally, the racial makeup of the schools may not be entirely reflective of the broader Brewster community, suggesting potential equity issues that could be investigated further.
