Summary

Dr W Arnone Community School is an elementary school in Brockton, MA serving grades PK-5 with 763 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Dr W Arnone Community School has significantly underperformed the Brockton district and Massachusetts state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 12.84% of students were proficient or better in ELA compared to 41.53% statewide, and only 8.9% were proficient or better in Math compared to 40.74% statewide.

The school's challenges appear to be deep-rooted, as it has been a low-performing school for over a decade. This is true across multiple student subgroups, including female, male, African American, Hispanic, English Learners, and students with disabilities. Interestingly, nearby schools in the Brockton district, while also underperforming the state, generally outperform Dr W Arnone Community School on academic metrics. For example, Louis F Angelo Elementary and Manthala George Junior School have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math.

Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, Dr W Arnone Community School is unable to translate those resources into improved academic outcomes. This suggests the school may have issues with how resources are allocated and utilized, pointing to the need for a comprehensive review of the school's operations, instructional practices, and resource allocation.
