Summary

North End Elementary is a public elementary school in Fall River, Massachusetts, serving 654 students in grades PK-5. While the school consistently outperforms the Fall River district average on MCAS assessments, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 165 out of 938 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 632 out of 906 in 2024-2025.

North End Elementary's strengths include its relatively low student-teacher ratio and strong performance for its African American and Hispanic student populations, which rank in the top 30-86 out of 458-169 Massachusetts elementary schools in these subgroups. However, the school struggles with its White and Multi-racial student populations, ranking in the bottom 50 out of 737-48 Massachusetts elementary schools in these subgroups. The school also performs well for its English Language Learner and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the top 89-252 out of 281-760 Massachusetts elementary schools in these subgroups.

When compared to nearby schools, North End Elementary generally outperforms the Fall River schools but lags behind the higher-performing Somerset schools, such as North Elementary, Chace Street, and South. This suggests that while North End is a relatively strong performer within its local district, there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools in the surrounding area.
