Summary:

Joseph W Martin Junior Elementary is a public elementary school in Plainville, MA, serving 536 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the North Attleborough school district, which is ranked 151 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Joseph W Martin Junior Elementary's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, the school stands out in some areas. For example, in 5th grade MCAS Next Generation Science, the school outperforms the district and state with 57.89% of students proficient or better, compared to 53.55% for the district and 44.5% for the state. However, the school's statewide ranking has been declining in recent years, from 183 out of 934 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 425 out of 916 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools, Joseph W Martin Junior Elementary performs on par or slightly below the district average, but outperforms some schools in Attleboro and Foxborough.

The school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is an area of interest, as the school's ranking for this group has fluctuated significantly, from 216 out of 757 in 2022-2023 to 503 out of 760 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to support its economically disadvantaged students. However, during the 2020-2021 school year, when many schools were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Joseph W Martin Junior Elementary performed relatively well, ranking 212 out of 925 Massachusetts elementary schools for students who were tested in person and 191 out of 399 for students who were tested remotely.

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.
