Elementary Schools in Saugus

The Saugus school district in Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Belmonte STEAM Academy and Veterans Early Learning Center. While both schools serve students in the Saugus area, they have distinct characteristics and performance levels.

Belmonte STEAM Academy is the larger of the two schools, with 780 students compared to 371 at Veterans Early Learning Center. Belmonte STEAM Academy has slightly higher MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the Saugus district and state averages, but it is ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools. In contrast, Veterans Early Learning Center has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.9, which may contribute to more individualized attention for students, though its MCAS proficiency rates are lower than Belmonte STEAM Academy's.

While both schools have a relatively high percentage of minority students, the available data suggests that Belmonte STEAM Academy is the stronger performer of the two based on the information provided. However, the lack of recent data for Veterans Early Learning Center makes it difficult to fully assess the current performance and compare the two schools. Further analysis and comparison to state and district averages could provide additional insights to help identify areas for improvement and best practices to support student success in the Saugus school district.
