Public Grades

Summary

Memorial Park is an elementary school in Rockland, MA that serves students from kindergarten to 4th grade. With a student population of 247, the school is part of the Rockland school district, which is ranked 192 out of 356 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial Park's academic performance, as measured by MCAS proficiency rates, lags behind the Rockland district and Massachusetts state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, only 31.3% of Memorial Park students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 38.92% for Rockland and 42.29% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, ranking 636 out of 928 in 2022-2023 and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Memorial Park's relatively strong performance among low-socioeconomic status students suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's overall academic outcomes.

Memorial Park is located in close proximity to two other Rockland elementary schools, R. Stewart Esten and Jefferson Elementary, which outperform it academically. Jefferson Elementary, in particular, ranks 263 out of 928 MA elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and math. The significant performance gap between Hispanic and White students at Memorial Park is also concerning and warrants further investigation.
