Quincy

Summary:

The Quincy school district in Massachusetts consists of 18 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district's schools exhibit a range of academic performance, with several standout institutions and others struggling to meet state averages.

North Quincy High School is a clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 25% of high schools in Massachusetts with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts high proficiency rates on MCAS tests, a 95.6% four-year graduation rate, and a low 0.9% dropout rate. Central Middle School and Wollaston School are also top performers, ranking in the top 15% of Massachusetts middle and elementary schools, respectively, with exceptional MCAS proficiency rates.

In contrast, some schools in the district, such as Snug Harbor Community School and Atherton Hough, struggle to meet state averages. The data suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing, such as school leadership, curriculum, and teaching quality, may play a significant role in the academic success of these schools. Further investigation into the practices and policies of the top-performing schools could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across the Quincy district.
