Bourne

Summary:

The Bourne school district in Massachusetts consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Bournedale Elementary School and Bourne Intermediate School), 1 middle school (Bourne Middle School), and 1 high school (Bourne High School). The district is ranked 258 out of 348 in Massachusetts and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Bourne High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, low dropout rate, and better-than-average MCAS test scores. In contrast, Bourne Middle School and Bourne Intermediate School generally perform below the state averages on MCAS tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.28% to 41.74% across different subjects and grade levels.

The district's overall low ranking and 1-star rating suggest that there may be opportunities for the Bourne school system to enhance the quality of education across all grade levels. While the district is investing resources in its schools, with relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the academic outcomes do not yet reflect the level of investment, particularly in the elementary and middle school levels.
