The clearest takeaway is that Scarborough’s latest results are above the state in all three tested subjects, with its strongest relative showing in science.

All-grades results rose from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026: ELA gained 24 points, math 10, and science 11, though science dipped sharply before rebounding. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 28% in 2024–2025 to 7% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 13% and the state’s 18%. The school’s 14.4 student–teacher ratio is the second-highest among the 11 nearby schools; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 33%, compared with a nearby average of 28%.

Friday, May 22, 2009

We have to move away and we are heartbroken because our son was so happy at Scarborough...He is slightly autistic and received tremendous attention, help and care there and made wonderful progress...The principal is attentive, available to parents, warm and dynamic and the same can be said of the whole staff including the teachers...Our son went to Kindergarten and 1st grade at Scarborough and his teachers were extremely competent and attentive...They also have great "specials" like art, music, PE, computer etc...A great, dynamic and warm environment for kids to grow and learn...We loved Scarborough and are going to miss it tremendously...
