Summary

Community Elementary School in North Attleborough, Massachusetts serves 288 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the North Attleborough school district, which is ranked 168 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher spending per student ($16,451) compared to nearby Joseph W. Martin Junior Elementary ($12,720) and Amvet Boulevard ($12,514), Community Elementary consistently underperforms on MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 32.59% of Community students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45.3% in the North Attleborough district and 41.53% statewide. The school has also been ranked in the bottom 40-50% of Massachusetts elementary schools for the past several years.

Community Elementary struggles to support certain student subgroups, with its rankings for male students and white students in the bottom 30% of Massachusetts elementary schools, and its rankings for special education and low socioeconomic status students in the bottom 50%. Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio (10.4) compared to nearby schools, the higher spending and smaller class sizes have not translated to improved academic outcomes. The school's declining performance and underperformance compared to other schools in the district suggest that a comprehensive review of instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student success.
