Summary

Letourneau Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fall River, Massachusetts, serving 618 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past 5-10 years, with significantly below-average performance on MCAS assessments compared to the state and district averages.

Letourneau's academic struggles are particularly concerning, as the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are all well below the state averages. Additionally, the school's performance lags behind nearby Spencer Borden and James Tansey elementary schools, which consistently outperform Letourneau on state assessments. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices and resource allocation.

Letourneau's challenges extend beyond academic performance, as the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, White, and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 20-30% of their respective statewide subgroups. These disparities suggest that the school may not be effectively addressing the unique needs of its most vulnerable student populations.
