Deep discrepancies in the number of economically disadvantaged students across Swampscott’s three elementary schools exist and the state wants the town to take action to fix it, school officials say.
“It is extreme from what they see across the commonwealth,” said Schools Superintendent Pamela Angelakis, “so we have to start doing something about it now. My team and I have been thinking about…is there a way, as we hopefully move toward twin schools and a new school building project, that we start to level that out.”
