Summary:
Zip code 02724 in Fall River serves roughly 2,001 students across four schools: an elementary school (K–5), a middle school (6–8), a charter school serving grades 6–12, and a very small alternative PK–12 school. Three of the four belong to the Fall River district, while Argosy Collegiate Charter School is its own charter district, Argosy Collegiate Charter School (District).
Argosy Collegiate Charter School is the academic standout here. Its 2025–26 all-grade proficiency is the highest in the zip code — ELA 21.09%, math 24.36%, and science 21.36% — and its state rank climbed from the 17th percentile in 2023–24 to the 33rd percentile in 2025–26, earning 2 stars. It also posts a 77.8% graduation rate and a 5.6% dropout rate. Carlton M. Viveiros Elementary School is the largest school, with 712 students; its math (19.15%) and science (15.69%) are slightly above the Fall River district, and 4th grade math reaches 31.40%, but it has the highest student-teacher ratio at 15.1. Matthew J Kuss Middle has the weakest math and science results among the traditional schools, at 9.02% and 10.55%, and its rank has slipped to the 6th percentile with 0 stars. Stone Pk-12 School, with just 56 students, spends the most per student ($36,143) and has the smallest classes (ratio 4.1), yet reports 0% all-grade ELA and math proficiency in 2025–26, a 57.1% graduation rate, and a 14.3% dropout rate.
Every school in this zip code sits below the Massachusetts all-grade averages of roughly 40–41% in each subject, and all four have blank free/reduced lunch data, so economic context is unavailable. Spending and staffing also show no simple link to outcomes: the highest-spending school has the lowest proficiency, while the highest-performing school spends near the middle.
