Summary

Tatnuck is an elementary school in Worcester, MA that serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 380 students. The school is part of the Worcester school district, which is ranked 302 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Tatnuck has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 627-762 out of around 900-940 schools.

Tatnuck's student performance on MCAS assessments consistently underperforms the Worcester district and Massachusetts state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.32% of Tatnuck students were proficient or better in ELA compared to 41.53% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with only 20.73% proficient or better in 2024-2025 compared to 40.74% statewide. However, Tatnuck's African American and English Language Learner students perform relatively well compared to their peers at the school.

Several nearby schools in the Worcester district, such as West Tatnuck and Flagg Street, significantly outperform Tatnuck on MCAS assessments across all subjects and grade levels. These higher-performing schools have stronger student demographics and also receive more funding per student. Addressing the disparities in student performance and resource allocation will be crucial for improving educational outcomes at Tatnuck.
