Summary:
The Brockton elementary school district in Massachusetts consists of 11 schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the schools generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, there is significant variation in academic achievement, with a few standout institutions like Louis F Angelo Elementary and John F Kennedy outperforming the Brockton district and the state of Massachusetts in multiple subject areas.
The data reveals that Louis F Angelo Elementary is the highest-performing school, with MCAS proficiency rates exceeding the Brockton and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. It also has the highest statewide ranking among the Brockton elementary schools, placing it in the top 63% of Massachusetts schools. John F Kennedy is another standout, with strong academic performance and a statewide ranking in the top 75% of elementary schools. Additionally, Mary E. Baker School stands out for its relatively high MCAS Science proficiency rates compared to the Brockton and state averages.
While the Brockton elementary schools generally perform below the state average, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and student demographics, may play a more significant role in driving student outcomes. The district should focus on understanding the strategies and best practices of the higher-performing schools to develop targeted interventions and support the academic success of all students.
