Summary

Mullen-Hall is a K-4 elementary school in the center of Falmouth, MA, serving 364 students as part of the Falmouth Public School District.

Mullen-Hall has consistently earned a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, placing it slightly below the state average. The most notable finding is a sharp decline in student proficiency between 3rd and 4th grade. In the 2024-2025 school year, 3rd graders scored at or above district and state averages in both ELA (46.67%) and Math (45.33%), but by 4th grade, proficiency dropped to 29.27% in ELA and 25.61% in Math. This "4th grade cliff" is unique among Falmouth peers. For example, North Falmouth Elementary shows the opposite trend, with 4th graders significantly outperforming 3rd graders. Despite similar student-teacher ratios and per-student spending, North Falmouth is a top-tier school (71st percentile, 4 stars), while Mullen-Hall is in the bottom half (38th percentile, 2 stars). This suggests the disparity is due to school-level factors like leadership and instructional strategies, not district funding.

On a positive note, Mullen-Hall demonstrates a clear strength in serving its Special Education students, who ranked in the 57th percentile statewide—the highest-performing subgroup at the school. However, the school shows inconsistent performance for male versus female students from year to year, and its support for Low Socio-Economic Status students has been volatile, dropping from the 51st percentile in 2022-2023 to the 24th percentile in recent years. While Mullen-Hall has avoided a catastrophic decline, its stagnation over a decade, especially compared to a peer like Teaticket (which moved from the 46th to 55th percentile in two years), suggests a need for a strategic shift in school-wide practices to break out of its current performance band.
