Summary:
Acushnet, Massachusetts is served by two public schools covering grades PK–8 — Acushnet Elementary School for pre-kindergarten through grade 4 and Albert F Ford Middle School for grades 5–8 — with no high school or alternative school in the data, so the town's full K–12 picture is incomplete.
The two schools perform very differently. Acushnet Elementary School is the standout: about 60% of students met or exceeded expectations in ELA and about 59% in math, roughly 20 and 18 points above the state. Its 4th-grade ELA score of 67.05 is the highest figure in the data set, and it has held 4 stars and an 81st percentile rank for the past two years, down slightly from 88th. Albert F Ford Middle School is closer to the middle: its math results are slightly above the state, but all-grade ELA, science, and 8th-grade civics fall below it, and it has slipped from the 69th to the 50th percentile while holding 3 stars. The gap between the schools is large — 24 points in ELA and 17 in math. 5th- and 6th-grade math are bright spots for the middle school, while 6th-grade ELA, 8th-grade science, and 8th-grade civics each trail the state by roughly 15 points.
Acushnet is rated 121 of 351, the 66th percentile, with 3 stars, a ranking that sits between the elementary school's strong results and the middle school's average ones. Resources look similar at both schools — student-teacher ratios of 13.2 and 12.9, and per-student spending near $15,000 (2020–2021 data, so not current). Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for both schools and cannot be analyzed.
