Marion

The Marion school district in Massachusetts is home to a single elementary school, Sippican Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 403 students. Sippican Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on MCAS assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 43.48% to 55.07% compared to the state averages of 39.17% to 41.95%.

While Sippican Elementary's academic performance is generally strong, the school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. This suggests that factors beyond just test scores may be influencing the school's overall performance and rating. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.9 and per-student spending of $18,890 are also noteworthy metrics.

Despite the predominantly White student population at Sippican Elementary (82.13%), the school does have a diverse mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds, with over 17% of students identifying as non-White. The school's performance in 4th-grade ELA and 5th-grade Mathematics, where proficiency rates are slightly lower than the state average, could be an area of focus for improvement as the school aims to maintain and enhance its academic excellence.
