Summary

Henry Lord Community School is a large elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Fall River, Massachusetts, a district that ranks 328 out of 348 in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Henry Lord Community School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts elementary schools, also earning a 0-star rating for most years.

The school significantly underperforms compared to the Fall River district and the state of Massachusetts on MCAS Next Generation assessments, with only 15.01% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.59% proficient in Mathematics, compared to 19.18% and 18.19% for the district, and 41.53% and 40.74% statewide. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Massachusetts elementary schools for African American, White, and Special Education students in both subjects.

Despite the high level of funding and resources, Henry Lord Community School has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the past several years. While nearby schools like James Tansey and Letourneau Elementary demonstrate higher proficiency rates and better student group performance, Henry Lord Community School's consistently low performance and lack of progress may indicate deeper systemic issues that need to be addressed.
