Summary:
The Taunton school district in Massachusetts consists of 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some schools standing out as top performers while others struggle to meet state standards.
Among the standout schools, East Taunton Elementary leads the way with the highest MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. Similarly, Benjamin Friedman Middle boasts the highest MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science among the Taunton middle schools. In contrast, Taunton High, the largest high school in the district, struggles with relatively low MCAS proficiency rates and a below-average statewide ranking.
The data also reveals significant challenges faced by the Taunton Alternative High School, which has a much lower 4-year graduation rate and a higher dropout rate compared to the district's other high school. This underscores the importance of providing specialized educational programs to serve the diverse needs of the student population in the Taunton school district.
