Summary:
The city of Truro, Massachusetts has only one public school, Truro Central, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 99 students. Truro Central is part of the Truro school district, which is ranked 250 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Truro Central's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages. While the school performs above the state average in 4th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and in overall Science proficiency, it lags behind the state averages in most other grade-level and subject-area assessments. The school's ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger have also declined over the past few years, going from a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating in 2023-2024. However, Truro Central has a relatively small student population and a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.4 to 1, suggesting the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention to students.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, Truro Central spends significantly more per student ($43,114) compared to the state average. The racial makeup of the student population is predominantly White (65.66%), with smaller percentages of African American (6.06%), Hispanic (8.08%), and students of two or more races (20.2%). Overall, Truro Central Elementary School faces both strengths and challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.
