Summary:
The Dighton-Rehoboth school district in Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Palmer River Elementary and Dighton Elementary. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and are part of the larger Dighton-Rehoboth district.
Based on the available data, Dighton Elementary appears to be the stronger-performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, better MCAS proficiency rates, and a more consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also has a higher per-student spending of $16,701 compared to Palmer River's $15,478. However, both schools perform slightly below the district and state averages in MCAS Next Generation English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
While the two schools have similar student-teacher ratios of 11.7, they differ in their student demographics, with Palmer River Elementary having a higher percentage of white students (89.76%) compared to Dighton Elementary (85.15%). This difference in racial/ethnic composition could be an area for further investigation, though it is important not to make any assumptions about the relationship between school performance and student demographics.
