Summary:
The city of Brockton, Massachusetts is home to 25 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The student population is predominantly non-white, with high percentages of African American and Hispanic students. However, the performance of these students lags behind their white and Asian peers, as evidenced by the test scores.
Among the standout schools in Brockton, Louis F Angelo Elementary has the highest performance among elementary schools, ranking 582nd out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools and earning 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. At the middle school level, Ashfield Middle School ranks 343rd out of 501 Massachusetts middle schools and earns 2 out of 5 stars, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the Brockton middle schools. The New Heights Charter School of Brockton is the standout high school, ranking 284th out of 347 Massachusetts high schools and earning 1 out of 5 stars, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science among the Brockton high schools.
However, many of the Brockton schools, especially the elementary and middle schools, are performing poorly compared to the state averages, with several ranked in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts schools and having 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The data suggests that the district may not be allocating resources effectively, as there is a wide range in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools. The higher-performing schools tend to have better resource metrics. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in Brockton.
