Community

Summary:

Community is an elementary school serving grades K-5 in the North Attleborough school district, with 269 students enrolled as of 2023-2024. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation test scores, lags behind the district and state averages.

In 2023-2024, only 38.52% of Community students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.69% in the North Attleborough district and 39.17% statewide. The gap is even wider in Mathematics, with only 29.63% of Community students proficient or better, compared to 46.36% in the district and 40.91% statewide. This has resulted in Community consistently ranking in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Community spends more per student ($16,451 in 2020-2021) compared to the district average, this has not translated into better academic outcomes. When compared to other elementary schools in the North Attleborough district, such as Joseph W. Martin Junior Elementary and Amvet Boulevard, Community performs significantly worse in terms of MCAS scores and overall rankings. Understanding the root causes of this underperformance and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial in helping the school improve and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
