Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in Gardner, Massachusetts - Gardner Elementary School. The school serves grades PK-4 and has an enrollment of 986 students.
Gardner Elementary School is struggling academically, with MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly below the state averages. The school has been consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools by SchoolDigger, receiving a 1-star rating. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $15,847, the school's academic performance has not improved, and its student-teacher ratio of 16.1 is slightly higher than the state average.
While Gardner Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 60.45% White, 28.9% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups, this diversity does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The school's challenges in meeting the needs of its diverse student body may be contributing to its overall underperformance compared to other elementary schools in Massachusetts.
