Summary:
Brockton has 23 schools serving 15,071 students: 11 elementary, 6 middle, 5 high school, and 1 alternative setting. The district itself is ranked 329th out of 351 in Massachusetts — the 6th percentile, with 0 stars — and proficiency trails the state in every subject. Elementary/middle ELA is 20.08% vs the state's 40.03%, math 19.05% vs 41.11%, and science 17.61% vs 40.98%; at the high school level, 10th-grade ELA is 21.66% vs 45.48% and math 15.34% vs 43.73%. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every Brockton school, so poverty-based comparisons are not possible from this data.
The clearest bright spots are small or mid-sized schools. PROMISE College and Career Academy, with 138 students, posts 67.44% 10th-grade ELA — above the state's 45.48% and far above the district's 21.66% — plus 39.53% math and 24.44% biology. Ashfield Middle School (8th-grade math 43.45%, above the state's 41.67%) and North Middle School (8th-grade math 44.8%, ELA 39.02%) lead the middle schools, with North improving from the 26th to the 36th percentile. Louis F Angelo Elementary has the strongest elementary results (math 31.55%, science 34.97%). Brockton High graduates 84.3% of students vs the district's 75.4%, and its physics proficiency of 51.67% exceeds the state's 46.58%.
At the other end, Oscar F Raymond (ELA 12.71%, math 7.31%, science 12.21%) and Dr W Arnone Community School (ELA 11.67%, math 10.06%) sit at the 3rd percentile. Alternative and virtual settings face severe completion gaps: Brockton Virtual Learning Academy graduates 42.1% with a 34.2% dropout rate, Edison Evening Academy reports 59.4% graduation, 24.7% dropout, and a 51.4 student-teacher ratio, and Champion High School shows 65.0% graduation and 25.0% dropout. Science is the district-wide weak point (biology 8.26% vs state 37.68%). Spending does not track outcomes: Brockton Therapeutic Day School spends $44,841 per pupil at a 3.1 ratio, while Louis F Angelo spends $16,681 with far stronger results.
