Summary
Letourneau Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Fall River, Massachusetts, serving 566 students as part of the Fall River district, which ranks 331st of 351 districts statewide (6th percentile, 0 stars). Letourneau ranked 690th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 (23rd percentile, 1 star) — still bottom-quartile statewide, but its best recent showing, up from 804th of 936 (14th percentile) in 2020–2021. On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, the school beat its district but trailed the state in all three subjects: ELA 27.6% proficient (district 18.24%, state 40.03%), mathematics 24% (district 18.24%, state 41.11%), and science 31.08% (district 15.29%, state 40.98%).
Among nearby same-district schools, Letourneau sits in the upper-middle of the group. Its science proficiency is the highest of the comparison schools, ahead of Samuel Watson (30%) and James Tansey (28.89%), and roughly 15.8 percentage points above the district. Fifth-grade ELA is a bright spot at 36.49%, close to the state's 38.15% and the best among nearby schools. Math (24%) is comparatively weaker than James Tansey (38.3%), Spencer Borden (32.24%), and Samuel Watson (31.43%). The student-teacher ratio improved to 13.7 in 2024–2025 from 17.2 in 2022–2023, and per-student spending was $15,913 in 2020–2021, so treat that figure as historical context.
Results also vary by grade: 4th-grade math (34.52%) is near the state, while 3rd-grade math (20.65%) and 5th-grade math (16.22%) lag. Effectiveness for specific groups differs from the overall rank — Hispanic students and English Language Learner students are each at the 56th percentile (3 stars), and low-SES students at the 47th percentile (2 stars), at or near the state median. Special education students are at the 12th percentile (1 star), a declining trend and the clearest concern. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for Letourneau and nearby schools, so poverty comparisons cannot be made from that field.
