Norfolk

Summary:

The data set provided information on two elementary schools in Norfolk, Massachusetts. The standout school in this data is the Freeman-Kennedy School, which is ranked in the top 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools and consistently earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Freeman-Kennedy School's test score performance is significantly above the state and district averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 66.55% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 40.74% statewide. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7, suggesting more individualized attention for students. In contrast, the H Olive Day school has lower test scores and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 12.2.

While the data set does not provide information on the free/reduced lunch rates for either school, the Freeman-Kennedy School's exceptional academic performance, efficient resource utilization, and low student-teacher ratio make it the standout school in this area. Further analysis of the schools' demographics and a broader comparison to other districts could yield additional insights, but based on the available data, the Freeman-Kennedy School appears to be the clear choice for parents seeking a high-quality elementary education in Norfolk.
