The school has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Massachusetts middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 188 and 215 over the past several years. Its performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the Attleboro district average, but below the state average in many subject areas and grade levels. The school has strong performance among certain student subgroups, such as African American and Special Education students, who rank in the top 25% and top 30% of Massachusetts middle schools, respectively.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Robert J. Coelho Middle School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic achievement, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Harold L Qualters Middle (Mansfield) and Dr. Kevin M. Hurley Middle School (Seekonk). The school's relatively high per-student spending of around $13,000 suggests it has access to adequate resources, but the mixed academic performance indicates that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
