Q: Is Bourne Intermediate School a good school?

Bourne Intermediate School ranks 590 th of 916 Massachusetts elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Bourne Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Bourne, Massachusetts. With a student population of 370, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation assessments, is generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.24%) and Mathematics (34.63%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 39.17% and 40.91%, respectively.

Bourne Intermediate School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school's Hispanic students have performed relatively well, ranking 134 out of 379 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2020-2021, the school's white students and students with disabilities have struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile of the state in recent years. Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending of $21,235 in the 2020-2021 school year, compared to the state average of $16,314, does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Indian Brook Elementary in Plymouth and Sippican Elementary in Marion, Bourne Intermediate School's performance is generally lower, with both of these schools outperforming Bourne Intermediate School on MCAS assessments. Additionally, Bourne Intermediate School's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 511 out of 936 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 642 out of 928 in 2022-2023.

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.
