Summary

Henry Lord Community School is a PK–8 school in Fall River, Massachusetts, serving 817 students — the largest enrollment among the nearby schools compared here — and it ranks 847th of 899 Massachusetts schools (6th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–26. Its district, Fall River, ranks 331st of 351 districts statewide (6th percentile). Except for 2020–21, when it reached the 14th percentile, Henry Lord has stayed in the bottom 1st–7th percentile in every year of this data.

In 2025–26, All Grades proficiency was 15.76% in ELA, 15.92% in math, and 6.04% in science, versus district figures of 18.24% in ELA and math and 15.29% in science, and state figures near 40–41%. Science is the sharpest weakness: Henry Lord's result is the lowest among the nearby Fall River schools listed, and 8th-grade civics (6.06%) sits far below the district (10.05%) and state (39.77%). Only William S Greene scores lower in ELA and math locally, while John J Doran is tied at the 6th percentile overall yet higher in math, science, and civics. Bright spots include 7th-grade ELA at 30% (district: 17.56%) and 6th-grade math at 21.62% (district: 16.2%).

Results for student groups vary widely. English Language Learner students ranked at the 54th percentile and African American students at the 44th, both far above the school's 6th percentile overall, though these groups were very low in prior years — swings that may reflect small group sizes. Other groups remained near the bottom statewide. Resources look comparatively favorable: Henry Lord has the lowest per-student spending ($15,755 in 2020–21) and the smallest student-teacher ratio (12.4 in 2024–25) among nearby Fall River schools, yet outcomes are among the lowest. Trends show stability rather than recovery, with ELA and math near 15% for four years while science fell from 13.33% to 7.64% to 6.04% and civics dropped from 15.94% to 6.06%. Free/reduced-price lunch data are unavailable, grade spans differ across the comparison schools, and spending figures are older than the test scores.
