Summary:
The New Heights Charter School of Brockton (District) in Massachusetts has only one school, New Heights Charter School of Brockton, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 741 students. The school's student population is predominantly African American (87.85%), with smaller percentages of other racial groups.
Academically, New Heights Charter School of Brockton struggles, with proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in grade 10, only 51.3% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 58.24%, and just 23.28% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 49.69%. The school's ranking and rating have been consistently low, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years.
Despite the high spending per student of $17,839 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.6, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes. The findings indicate a need for a deeper investigation into the underlying factors contributing to the school's challenges and the implementation of targeted interventions to better support the students and improve their educational experiences.
