Summary:
The 02301 zip code of Brockton, Massachusetts is home to 16 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of performance levels, with some standout schools like New Heights Charter School of Brockton and Brockton Virtual Learning Academy outperforming the district and state averages, while others struggle to get even 10% of students proficient in core subjects.
New Heights Charter School of Brockton stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 93.5% and the lowest dropout rate at 2.2%. Its MCAS proficiency rates are also higher than the Brockton district and state averages in many subject areas. Brockton Virtual Learning Academy and John F. Kennedy Elementary also demonstrate relatively strong MCAS performance.
However, the Brockton school district as a whole appears to be underperforming, with most schools ranking in the bottom third of Massachusetts schools and the district receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. There is a significant achievement gap between the highest and lowest performing schools, and spending per student does not necessarily correlate with better outcomes. The success of the charter and alternative schools suggests that innovative approaches may be effective in boosting student outcomes across the district.
