Memorial Park

Summary:

Memorial Park is an elementary school in Rockland, MA that serves students from kindergarten to 4th grade. With a student population of 247, the school is part of the Rockland school district, which is ranked 192 out of 356 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial Park's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, lags behind the Rockland district and Massachusetts state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, only 31.3% of Memorial Park students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 38.92% for Rockland and 42.29% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, ranking 636 out of 928 in 2022-2023 and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Memorial Park's relatively strong performance among low-socioeconomic status students suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's overall academic outcomes.

Memorial Park is located in close proximity to two other Rockland elementary schools, R. Stewart Esten and Jefferson Elementary, which outperform it academically. Jefferson Elementary, in particular, ranks 263 out of 928 MA elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and math. The significant performance gap between Hispanic and White students at Memorial Park is also concerning and warrants further investigation.

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.
