Summary:
The town of Bourne, Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Bournedale Elementary School and Bourne Intermediate School. Both schools serve students in grades K-5 and are part of the Bourne school district.
Based on the available data, neither school stands out as a top performer. Bournedale Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Bourne Intermediate School fares slightly better, ranking in the bottom 30-35% of the state's elementary schools with a 2-star rating. Both schools perform below the state average on MCAS Next Generation assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.83% to 36.29% across different grade levels and subject areas.
Despite the relatively low academic performance, the schools appear to have higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios compared to the state average. This suggests that funding and resource allocation may not be the primary drivers of their performance. The data indicates a need for more targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the schools' below-average outcomes, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or student support services. Aligning their curriculum and instruction with state standards and expectations may also be an area for improvement to help these schools better meet the academic needs of their students.
