High Schools in New Heights Charter School of Brockton (District)

The New Heights Charter School of Brockton is the sole high school located within the New Heights Charter School of Brockton (District) in Massachusetts. The school serves students in grades 9-12 and faces significant challenges in academic performance, graduation rates, and resource utilization.

The school's MCAS Next Generation test scores are consistently well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 11% to 39% compared to the state averages of 40% to 57%. The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.5% is also lower than the state average, while the dropout rate of 5.8% is higher. Despite higher-than-average per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes suggest a need for more effective resource allocation and targeted interventions to support student success.

While the school's predominantly African American and Hispanic student population may present unique challenges, the low academic performance cannot be directly attributed to demographic factors. Addressing the systemic issues underlying the school's struggles will require a comprehensive approach that considers the specific needs of the student body and implements evidence-based strategies to improve educational outcomes and support student retention and graduation.
