Summary:
The three elementary schools located in Southbridge, Massachusetts - West Street, Eastford Road, and Charlton Street - are all performing poorly compared to state averages, with consistently low proficiency rates on standardized tests.
None of the Southbridge elementary schools appear to be standouts in a positive sense. West Street and Charlton Street are ranked in the bottom 5% of Massachusetts elementary schools, with 0 out of 5 stars, while Eastford Road does not have any available statewide ranking or rating information. All three schools have very low proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, well below the state averages.
Despite relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the Southbridge elementary schools are still struggling to achieve acceptable academic performance. This suggests that simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and a more comprehensive approach is needed to address the underlying challenges facing the district.
