Summary

Tucker Elementary School in Milton, MA serves 449 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly-ranked Milton school district. This school consistently outperforms the state average on MCAS assessments, with 54.19% proficiency in ELA and 51.72% in Math, compared to the state averages of 41.53% and 40.74% respectively. Tucker's strong academic performance is a key strength, and it stands out in its effectiveness in serving diverse student subgroups.

Tucker has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.1 to 14.6 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Glover Elementary School and significantly lower than some of the Boston public schools in the area. While Tucker's performance has fluctuated somewhat over the years, with a brief dip to 3-star ratings, it has been able to recover and maintain strong academic results, suggesting the school is effectively addressing any challenges it faces.

Compared to nearby Boston public schools like Shaw Elementary, Grew Elementary, Mildred Avenue K-8, and Mattahunt Elementary, Tucker's performance is notably stronger, consistently outperforming the state averages on MCAS assessments. This suggests Tucker is providing a high-quality education to its students and could serve as a model for other schools in the region.
