Marion

Marion, MA has one school in this data set — Sippican, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 369 students. No middle, high, or alternative schools appear for the area. Because the Marion district contains only this one school, its district-level MCAS results are identical to school-level results, so the most useful comparisons are Sippican against Massachusetts state averages and against its own past performance.

Academically, math is Sippican's strongest subject: 44.16% of students met or exceeded expectations in 2025–2026 versus 41.11% statewide, and science was 44.64% versus 40.98%. Grade 3 stood out, with 53.85% proficient in math (state 42.19%) and 51.28% in English language arts (state 42.79%). The main weak spot is upper-elementary ELA: grade 5 was 33.33% (state 38.15%) and grade 6 was 35.42% (state 40.26%), pulling all-grade ELA to 39.18%, just under the state's 40.03%. Science also fell sharply, from 54.72% in 2024–2025 to 44.64% in 2025–2026, though it remains above the state average.

Sippican's SchoolDigger percentile has slipped from 64 in 2023–2024 to 58 in 2024–2025 to 53 in 2025–2026, holding 3 stars each year. The district record for Marion lists a rank of 200 of 351, at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars; because the ranking pools differ, that gap should be read cautiously. Other context: a student-teacher ratio of 10.7 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $18,890 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed from this data set.
