Summary:
The 02302 zip code area of Brockton, Massachusetts is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area generally perform below the state averages on standardized tests, a few standout institutions, such as Plouffe Middle School and Ashfield Middle School, are outperforming their peers and the Brockton district as a whole.
The data reveals significant gaps in academic performance between the schools in the 02302 zip code and the state averages, suggesting that students in this area may be facing challenges that are impacting their learning outcomes. The middle schools in the data set show more variation in performance, with Plouffe and Ashfield standing out as relatively stronger performers, while East Middle School lags behind. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may indicate unequal access to resources and funding, which could be contributing to the performance gaps.
One bright spot in the data is the PROMISE College and Career Academy, an alternative school that stands out for its high performance on the MCAS Biology exam, with 31.43% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to 20.69% for the Brockton district and 47.83% for the state. This suggests that targeted interventions and support can help address the challenges faced by the lower-performing schools in the 02302 zip code and improve outcomes for students in this community.
