Summary

Flagg Street is a high-performing elementary school in Worcester, MA that serves 387 students in grades K-6. Despite the Worcester school district being ranked 302 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts, Flagg Street has consistently maintained strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 25-30% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past 10 years.

Flagg Street significantly outperforms the Worcester district and state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also appears to be particularly effective at supporting the academic achievement of Hispanic, low-income, and special education students, outperforming state averages for these subgroups. Factors that may contribute to Flagg Street's success include its higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to other Worcester elementary schools.

While Flagg Street excels overall, there are still areas for improvement, such as the performance of disabled students, which ranked in the bottom 15% of Massachusetts elementary schools in 2020-2021. Flagg Street significantly outperforms the nearby Elm Park Community, Chandler Elementary Community, and Columbus Park elementary schools on academic metrics, but is outperformed by the higher-ranked West Tatnuck and Nelson Place schools in the same district.
